v1.2.1 — Background-tab clicks without stealing focus
Browser Relay can now click controls in a background Chrome tab without bringing that tab to the foreground.
What changed
- Fixes a false-success case where Chrome ignored CDP mouse input on a hidden tab.
- Keeps trusted mouse events for the visible tab and uses a DOM click fallback for a normal left click on a hidden tab.
- Returns
strategy: "mouse"orstrategy: "dom"so agents can inspect how the click was performed. - Adds a safe mock internal dashboard for demos and regression checks.
- Aligns npm and extension metadata with the agent-first Skill + CLI and multi-machine positioning.
Verification
- CLI, HTTP, and MCP smoke-tested against a real hidden Chrome tab.
- Full test suite: 16/16 passing.
Install or update:
npm install -g @linsoai/browser-relay@1.2.1
browser-relay updateThis release does not make access to an everyday browser risk-free. Only connect trusted agents, and treat a remote Device ID like a password.
