About​

Glider is a browser automation toolkit that enables AI agents to control authenticated web applications via Chrome DevTools Protocol.

The Problem​

AI coding assistants (Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Code) can't access your browser. They can't:

• Navigate to authenticated pages
• Extract data from web apps you're logged into
• Interact with internal tools behind SSO

The Solution​

Glider bridges this gap with:

• Chrome Extension: Connects your browser to a local relay server
• CLI: Programmatic control from terminal or AI agents
• WebSocket Relay: Secure local communication between agents and browser

Features​

• Navigate to any URL
• Execute JavaScript in page context
• Take screenshots
• Extract page text/HTML
• Click elements by selector
• Full Chrome DevTools Protocol access

Installation​

npm (CLI)​

npm install -g glidercli

Chrome Extension​

Load unpacked from glider-crx/ directory or install from releases.

Usage​

# Check status

# Connect to browser

# Navigate

# Execute JS
