Common flags

  • --url <gatewayWsUrl>: Gateway WebSocket URL (defaults to config).
  • --token <token>: Gateway token (if required).
  • --timeout <ms>: request timeout (ms).
  • --browser-profile <name>: choose a browser profile (default from config).
  • --json: machine-readable output (where supported).

​
Quick start (local)

fased browser --browser-profile chrome tabs
fased browser --browser-profile fased start
fased browser --browser-profile fased open https://example.com
fased browser --browser-profile fased snapshot

​
Profiles

Profiles are named browser routing configs. In practice:
  • fased: launches/attaches to a dedicated Fased-managed Chrome instance (isolated user data dir).
  • chrome: controls your existing Chrome tab(s) via the Chrome extension relay.
fased browser profiles
fased browser create-profile --name work --color "#FF5A36"
fased browser delete-profile --name work
Use a specific profile: 
fased browser --browser-profile work tabs

​
Chrome extension relay (attach via toolbar button)

This mode lets the agent control an existing Chrome tab that you attach manually (it does not auto-attach). Install the unpacked extension to a stable path: 
fased browser extension install
fased browser extension path
Then Chrome → chrome://extensions → enable “Developer mode” → “Load unpacked” → select the printed folder. Full guide: Chrome extension

Remote browser control (node host proxy)

If the Gateway runs on a different machine than the browser, run a node host on the machine that has Chrome/Brave/Edge/Chromium. The Gateway will proxy browser actions to that node (no separate browser control server required). Use gateway.nodes.browser.mode to control auto-routing and gateway.nodes.browser.node to pin a specific node if multiple are connected.
