Released August 6, it binds an exact Chromium tab to its native process and window via Chrome DevTools Protocol, giving page-aware browser actions plus full desktop control in one session, reachable through CLI, MCP, Python, and TypeScript (Cua). Contrast with Claude Code connecting through a Chrome extension that shares browser state, and Codex shipping an in-app browser separate from your profile. Attaching a signed-in profile requires an explicit launch grant rather than a runtime modal, so authorization sits at the policy layer. Given the Brave findings above, that placement matters more than the convenience.
