    Enables MCP-compatible AI assistants to drive the user's real, already-logged-in Chrome browser locally, so they can read and summarize pages, click, type, fill and submit forms, navigate tabs, and capture screenshots with full access to existing sessions. It also exposes cookies, storage, console, network capture, and emulation capabilities without opening a remote-debugging port or sending data off the machine.
