Browser extension and editions
We recommend Full for the complete browser debugging feature set. Choose Lite for Chrome Web Store installation and automatic updates. Both editions support page reading, interaction, and generic diagnostics.
What does the extension do?
It observes pages and performs authorized actions in your existing Chrome session, returning bounded browser evidence to a connected OMB Agent. The CLI provides the Agent MCP connection.
Choose an edition
Full · unpacked
Load manually via the installer or ZIP to use deeper browser capabilities available in the full package.
Lite · Chrome Web Store
Store installation and automatic updates, with common page reading, interaction, and generic diagnostics.
Install Full
- Run the default installer to install the CLI, configure agents, and download the full extension.
- Follow the installer instructions to load the unpacked extension in Chrome.
- Open the extension popup, sign in, and wait for Connected.
- Call omb_status in your Agent, then try reading a page.
Developer page diagnostics
Both editions offer bounded, redacted generic diagnostics by default. Web developers can optionally add the OMB JS/TS SDK for live business context. Ordinary use does not require Chrome's experimental WebMCP API.
Frequently asked questions
Must websites install the SDK?
No. Generic extension diagnostics work on ordinary sites; the SDK only adds application-declared business state.
Must I enable experimental Chrome WebMCP?
No. OMB's own extension bridge carries generic and SDK diagnostics.
How does Lite update?
The Chrome Web Store handles automatic updates. If one has not arrived yet, check its status on the Chrome extensions page.
