AI browser-control extensions

This cluster comprises browser extensions that let AI agents drive a user's real, signed-in Chrome browser in background tabs, often via a local server, without stealing focus or interrupting the user's work. The cluster's dated history is too thin to read a shape from -- it predates the index or its members are undated. Among the traction leaders, FowlBrowser leads with 22 stars, followed by browser-bridge with 2 stars and tabhand with 1 star.
