What Nanobrowser does

Nanobrowser: AI Web Agent & Automation, published by Alex Chen, is listed for Chrome. The developer describes its purpose as “Automate web tasks with AI!” This guide brings together the documented features, installation entry points and compatibility details so you can decide whether it fits your task.

Documented features

The official listing documents the capabilities below. Compare the functions you need with the available platform and paid-feature information before installing. These are the developer’s descriptions, not independent performance or security test results.

“4️⃣ Choose which model to use for different agents (Navigator, Planner, Validator).”
“2️⃣ Create issues or even submit pull requests on our Github repository”
“An open-source and local-first web automation agent that runs in your browser.”
“3️⃣ Flexible LLM Options: Supports SOTA LLM models as well as local models”
“Multi-agent System: Specialized agents collaborate to accomplish complex web tasks.”
“Interactive Side Panel: Intuitive chat interface with real-time status updates.”

Installing and opening Nanobrowser

Open the Chrome Web Store link, confirm Nanobrowser: AI Web Agent & Automation and the publisher Alex Chen, then select Add to Chrome. Read the requested permissions before confirming. After installation, Chrome’s Extensions menu provides access to the extension; pinning its toolbar icon is optional. To disable or remove it later, use Chrome’s Manage Extensions page.

The manifest declares a toolbar action. Use its toolbar entry to open the extension’s action. An options page is declared; open the extension’s details in Manage Extensions to access its settings.

Using the documented workflow

Start with the operation that matches your task. The following actions are documented in the official listing; they are separate usage options, not a sequence that every user must complete. For controls not named here, consult https://discord.gg/NN3ABHggMK rather than assuming a particular button or menu exists.

“4️⃣ Fully Open Source: Complete transparency in how your browser is automated”
“1️⃣ Click the Nanobrowser icon in your toolbar to open the sidebar.”
“2️⃣ Click the Settings icon (top right).”
“3️⃣ Add your preferred LLM API keys.”

Platforms, version and interface languages

Verified store editions: Chrome, Microsoft Edge. The captured Chrome version is 0.1.13, updated 2025-11-23. Version numbers and feature availability can differ between stores. Use the corresponding official store button; a browser sharing Chromium is not evidence of a separate official store edition.

The official store lists 3 interface languages. The supported-language tags on this page come from that product metadata; they are separate from the eight languages available for this guide. Check the current store if a particular language is essential to your workflow.

Price and paid features

The developer describes a free offering. Check the official website for the current feature limits and price in your region. Installing the browser package and subscribing to a connected service are separate actions; a browser-store button alone does not establish which paid features are included.

Permissions, privacy and practical limits

The published extension manifest lists these API permissions: storage, scripting, tabs, activeTab, debugger, unlimitedStorage, webNavigation, sidePanel. These are declared capabilities, not proof of what data the developer actually collects. Review Chrome’s installation prompt and the developer’s privacy policy (https://github.com/nanobrowser/nanobrowser/blob/master/PRIVACY.md) before granting access.

Chrome’s extension details let you inspect site access and disable the extension. If an expected control does not appear, check that the extension is enabled and that the current site is one supported in its description. Do not extend access to every site merely to troubleshoot a single website.
