remorses / playwriter
Chrome extension & CLI to let agents control your browser. Runs Playwright snippets in a stateful sandbox. Available as CLI or MCP
Why this job: matched by what the repo talks about: browser, chrome, playwright, cli
What it does
Other browser MCPs spawn a fresh Chrome — no logins, no extensions, instantly flagged by bot detectors, double the memory. Playwriter connects to your running browser instead. One Chrome extension, full Playwright API, everything you're already logged into.
