chrome — the user's real browser
The chrome_* tools drive the browser the user is looking at: their window, their profile, their cookies, their tabs. Every action shows up on their screen, and every request goes out as them.
This is the opposite trade from browser_* (the cua sandbox), and the two do not share state:
chrome_* |
browser_* |
|
|---|---|---|
| Whose browser | the user's real one | a headless throwaway |
| Signed in | yes, as them | no, as nobody |
| Visible to the user | yes | only in the Browser panel |
| Cost of a mistake | real and often public | a reload |
Pick by what the task needs, not by habit. Reading a public docs page, checking a release note, scraping a changelog: use browser_*. Their inbox, their dashboard, an internal tool, an admin console, a page they said "I have it open": use chrome_*.
