BrowserKing: Open-Source Chrome Extension for Browser Control via Claude and Other Models
BrowserKing is a free, open-source Chrome extension that turns Claude and other AI models into full browser agents. It operates from a side panel and requires no account or subscription—just your Anthropic API key.
Key Features
- Supports Claude and 15+ other AI models
- Takes screenshots of the current browser screen and sends them to the selected model
- Acts on the model's decisions to perform browser actions
- Each provider gets its own theme color, with the UI adapting visually when switching models
Browser Control Capabilities
