Browser overview
Give Eigent agents controlled access to browser sessions and authenticated websites.
Eigent can launch or connect to Chrome DevTools Protocol browsers for research and browser automation. Browser agents can navigate pages, interact with controls, capture screenshots, and maintain session state.
Open Browser settings
- Open the Eigent dashboard.
- Select Browser.
- Choose Connections, Plugins, or Cookies.
Browser Connections
Connections manage browsers available to agents. You can:
- Open a new managed browser
- Connect an existing CDP-enabled browser
- Review browser names and ports
- Remove a browser from the pool
Browser Cookies
Cookies let agents use authenticated sessions. Open a dedicated login browser, sign in to required services, then let Eigent import the resulting cookie domains.
Browser Plugins
Browser Plugins are currently marked Coming soon.
Do not present browser extension or plugin features as available until the product page includes active installation controls.
Use a browser in a Session
When a Browser agent starts work, its workspace appears in the Project Session.
The agent can:
- Search and navigate
- Click and type
- Read page content
- Capture visual state
- Use available authenticated cookies
When manual interaction is required, use Take Control, complete the action, and return control to the agent.
Security
- Use a dedicated browser profile.
- Avoid storing unnecessary privileged sessions.
- Delete cookies when a task no longer needs them.
- Review actions before giving an agent access to sensitive services.
- Do not connect a remote-debugging port to an untrusted network.
