πŸ’‘ Examples

Check Connected Tabs

openclaw browser tabs --profile chrome-relay

Or use the tool: 

browser(action=tabs, profile=chrome-relay)

Read Page Content

browser(action=snapshot, profile=chrome-relay, targetId=)

Navigate

browser(action=navigate, profile=chrome-relay, targetId=, url="https://...")

Interact with Page

Note: aria-ref based selectors have reliability issues in chrome-relay mode. Prefer JavaScript evaluation for complex interactions:

// Click element
browser(action=act, kind=evaluate, profile=chrome-relay, 
  fn="document.querySelector('selector').click()")
// Type in input
browser(action=act, kind=evaluate, profile=chrome-relay, 
  fn="document.querySelector('input').value = 'text'")
// Get element info
browser(action=act, kind=evaluate, profile=chrome-relay, 
  fn="document.querySelector('selector').innerText")

Limitations

  • aria-ref selectors may timeout; use JavaScript evaluate instead
  • Extension must be attached (icon shows ON) for each tab
  • Only works with Chrome browser
  • Connection port: 18792
