Browser (OpenClaw-managed) Documentation
Overview
OpenClaw operates a dedicated, isolated browser profile separate from your personal browsing. The system supports multiple browser profiles including "openclaw" (managed), "chrome" (extension relay), and remote CDP configurations.
Key Features
Isolation & Control: A separate browser profile named openclaw (orange accent by default) with deterministic tab management, agent actions like clicking and typing, plus snapshots and screenshots.
Profile Options:
openclaw: managed, isolated instancechrome: extension relay to your system browser- Remote CDP: browser running elsewhere
Quick Start
Basic commands include starting the browser, opening URLs, and capturing snapshots:
openclaw browser --browser-profile openclaw start
openclaw browser open https://example.com
openclaw browser snapshot
Configuration
Browser settings reside in ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json. Key options include enabling/disabling, setting default profiles, choosing executable paths, and configuring multiple profiles with different CDP ports.
Snapshot & Action System
Two snapshot styles exist:
- AI snapshots (numeric refs like
12):openclaw browser snapshot - Role snapshots (role refs like
e12):openclaw browser snapshot --interactive
Actions use refs from snapshots: openclaw browser click 12 or openclaw browser type e12 "text"
Extension Relay Setup
Users can control existing Chrome tabs via the OpenClaw extension without launching a separate browser instance, requiring the extension installation and activation on desired tabs.
Security Considerations
Browser control is loopback-only; access flows through the Gateway's auth or node pairing. Remote CDP URLs should use HTTPS where possible and tokens should be managed via environment variables rather than config files.
Debugging & Advanced Features
Tools include console logging, error tracking, network request inspection, tracing, and JavaScript evaluation within page context—all accessible via CLI commands.
