browser-read

Extract readable text from an already-open browser page and return markdown, suitable for pages where web_fetch is blocked or missing auth context.

When to use

• web_fetch returned an error or empty content.
• Page requires authentication/cookies/session state available only in the browser.
• You need text extraction from Twitter/X or LinkedIn timelines/articles where screenshot/OCR was previously used.

When NOT to use

• web_fetch already returns good markdown/text (faster and cheaper).
• Purely static pages where normal fetch is sufficient.
