v0.4.3
Parallel browser tasks
Separate tasks — separate agent threads, separate MCP processes — can now use the browser at the same time through one Chrome extension without touching each other's tabs. (#6)
- Every MCP process shares the extension, on every platform. The first server owns it and later servers go through it, each with its own tab group. When the owner exits another takes over, and nobody's tabs close.
session_idon everybrowser_*tool (optional). Several tasks inside one MCP process each get their own tabs, tab group and cleanup. Pass a stable id per task; omit it for the process's default session.- Cleanup is scoped.
browser_close_all_tabscloses only the calling task's tabs; a process exiting closes only its own sessions.
Fixed
- Third MCP process hung (macOS). The bridge owner served peer processes one at a time on its accept loop, so a third server waited forever behind the second.
- Owner exit closed everyone's tabs. The extension closed every client's tabs whenever the native host dropped. It now keeps them and reconnects with backoff.
- Two agents could adopt the same tab.
browser_use_tabchecked ownership before anawait; simultaneous claims could both succeed. - One browser user at a time (Windows/Linux). The Rust host now implements the same owner + peer protocol as the macOS host.
Notes
- 30 tools; 12 browser tools gained
session_id. Chrome extension 0.4.3 — reload it inchrome://extensions(or load it unpacked again fromchrome-extension/). - Tasks still share Chrome's cookies and logins; desktop apps and the clipboard are not per-task.
