Manus Launches Browser Operator Chrome Extension: Transforms Any Browser into an AI-Powered Tool for Automated Tasks and Secure Access
Manus has released the Manus Browser Operator, a Chrome extension designed to convert any standard browser into an AI-enabled one. This tool automates complex browser operations, allowing access to protected websites and systems like research platforms and CRM tools without triggering additional login verifications. Currently in a phased rollout for advanced users, the extension aims to significantly boost daily work efficiency. Key features include secure local access, session reuse, and the ability to perform tasks such as data retrieval from databases (Crunchbase, PitchBook), CRM updates, and data extraction from paid platforms. The system operates with a dual-layer architecture, combining cloud-based browsing for general tasks with local browser access for authenticated systems, ensuring secure and efficient task execution. It is currently in beta for Pro, Plus, and Team users, supporting Chrome and Edge, with ongoing optimization for complex interactions.
