- Your pick of AI provider — swap mid-conversation
- Works with your existing Chrome session and cookies
- Auto-updates from the Chrome Web Store
Some enterprise and education policies block the Chrome Web Store outright. If that's you, you can install a signed manual build of Auto Browser directly — but read the warning first.
chrome://extensions and turn on
Developer mode (top right).
.crx from your Downloads folder onto the
chrome://extensions tab and click
Add extension.
Some Chrome versions block off-store .crx installs.
Use the unpacked path:
autobrowser-1.1.0.crx to
autobrowser-1.1.0.zip and extract it.
chrome://extensions, click
Load unpacked and pick the extracted folder.
You may need to be signed into Chrome with the same Google account you use for the Chrome Web Store. Try opening the listing in a fresh tab. If you're on a managed device, your admin may have blocked the store — see the manual install above.
Make sure Chrome is 126 or newer and click the Auto Browser toolbar icon. If it's hidden, pin it from the puzzle-piece extensions menu.
That only happens with the manual install path — Chrome flags extensions installed outside the store. The Chrome Web Store version doesn't show it. If you can reach the store, install from there and remove the manual build (they're separate extensions).
Follow along on the blog for release notes, or reach us through the Chrome Web Store listing's support tab.
