Manage browser control servers and enable automated browser interactions.
Overview
OpenClaw's browser command manages browser control servers and enables automated browser interactions. The system supports two primary browser profiles:
- openclaw: Launches a dedicated, isolated Chrome instance managed by OpenClaw
- chrome: Controls existing Chrome tabs through a Chrome extension relay
Key Capabilities
The tool supports standard browser automation tasks including:
- Tab management (list, open, focus, close)
- Navigation
- Screenshots and snapshots
- UI element interaction through reference-based automation
Usage Patterns
Common operations include:
- Managing tabs (list, open, focus, close)
- Visual capture via snapshots and screenshots
- Programmatic actions like clicking and typing on referenced UI elements
- Remote browser control through node host proxies when browsers run on different machines
Commands
openclaw browser status
openclaw browser start
openclaw browser stop
openclaw browser screenshot
openclaw browser snapshot
openclaw browser navigate <url>
openclaw browser click --ref <ref>
openclaw browser type --ref <ref> --text "content"
Configuration
Users can create custom browser profiles with specific names and colors, and specify profiles via the --browser-profile flag. Standard options include timeout settings, gateway URLs, and output formatting.
Extension Integration
The Chrome extension relay allows manual attachment of existing Chrome tabs, requiring installation through the unpacked extension method rather than auto-attachment.
