Web Browser Skill

Full-featured browser automation with CDP tools for collaborative site exploration.

🔧 修复说明：已修复关闭主浏览器的问题。现在使用完全独立的浏览器实例，不影响你的主 Chrome。详见 FIX_NOTE.md

🎲 随机端口：每次启动时自动生成随机端口（9222-9999），避免端口冲突。端口信息保存在 ~/.cache/scraping-web-browser/port.txt，下次启动会复用相同端口。

💾 持久化存储：默认使用 Chromium 浏览器，数据持久化保存在 ~/.cache/scraping-web-browser/，包括 cookies、localStorage、session data 等，重启后自动恢复。

Quick Start

# Run demo to test everything works
node demo.js

# Get current port
node scripts/get-port.js

# Start Chromium browser (default, with persistent storage)
node scripts/start.js

Browser Management

Start Chromium (Default)

```bash ./scripts/start.js # Start Chromium with persistent storage ./scripts/start.js --chrome # Use Google Chrome instead of Chromium ```

Start Chromium on a random port (9222-9999) with remote debugging. The port is saved and reused for subsequent starts.

Important: This skill starts a completely independent browser instance with its own profile directory (~/.cache/scraping-web-browser). It will NOT affect your existing Chrome browser or close any open tabs. The browser runs in the background and persists cookies, localStorage, and session data between restarts.

Stop Chrome

```bash ./scripts/stop.js # Stop the browser ```

Gracefully stop the browser. Port configuration is preserved for next start.

Get Port

```bash ./scripts/get-port.js # Show current port ```

Navigation

Navigate

```bash ./scripts/nav.js https://example.com ./scripts/nav.js https://example.com --new ```

Navigate current tab or open new tab.

Reload

```bash ./scripts/reload.js # Normal reload ./scripts/reload.js --force-cache # Force using cache ./scripts/reload.js --force-no-cache # Force reload without cache ```

Reload the current page with cache control.

Tabs

```bash ./scripts/tabs.js list # List all tabs ./scripts/tabs.js new # Open new tab ./scripts/tabs.js new "https://example.com" # Open new tab with URL ./scripts/tabs.js switch 1 # Switch to tab by index ./scripts/tabs.js close 0 # Close tab by index ./scripts/tabs.js close-others # Close all other tabs ```

Best Practices

1. Always stop browser: Use node scripts/stop.js when done to release resources
2. Check port: Use node scripts/get-port.js to see current port
3. Error handling: If errors occur, restart browser and retry
4. Persistence: All data (cookies, localStorage, sessions) persists in ~/.cache/scraping-web-browser/
5. Wait strategies: Use wait-for.js for dynamic content
6. Network monitoring: Use network.js start/stop to analyze requests
7. Debugging: Use debug.js and inspect.js for troubleshooting

Port Management

• Random port: Automatically generated on first start (9222-9999)
• Port persistence: Port is saved to ~/.cache/scraping-web-browser/port.txt
• Reuse: Next start uses the same port
• Reset: Delete port.txt to get a new random port
• Check port: Run node scripts/get-port.js to see current port

Configuration Directory

• Config: ~/.cache/scraping-web-browser/
• Port file: ~/.cache/scraping-web-browser/port.txt
• Cookies: ~/.cache/scraping-web-browser/Default/Cookies
• LocalStorage: ~/.cache/scraping-web-browser/Default/Local Storage/

Process Management

```bash

View process

ps aux | grep "scraping-web-browser"

Stop browser

node scripts/stop.js

Force stop

pkill -f "scraping-web-browser" ```
