v1.2.1 — Background-tab clicks without stealing focus

Choose a tag to compare

@reliefeai reliefeai released this 15 Jul 12:31

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" or strategy: "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 update

This release does not make access to an everyday browser risk-free. Only connect trusted agents, and treat a remote Device ID like a password.
