OpenClaw Adds Chrome DevTools MCP and Browser Profile Support

OpenClaw is latest beta (v2026.3.13-beta.1) introduces significant browser automation improvements: official Chrome DevTools MCP support for signed-in sessions and simplified profile selection for agent workflows.

Chrome DevTools MCP Integration

OpenClaw now supports attaching to existing, signed-in Chrome sessions via Chrome DevTools. Enable remote debugging at chrome://inspect/#remote-debugging and OpenClaw can attach to live browser contexts with full cookie and session state intact.

Simplified Profile Selection

Browser automation calls now support two new profile shortcuts:

  • profile="user" — Uses your logged-in host browser (session cookies, extensions, everything)
  • profile="chrome-relay" — Connects via the Chrome extension relay for toolbar-button flows

This eliminates the need to manually specify browserSession selectors in many common automation scenarios.

Enhanced Act Automation

The browser act capability now supports batched actions with selector targeting, delayed clicks, and normalized batch dispatch—making complex automation sequences more reliable.
