i'm waiting for that as well. my other options are
- either bind a host function to manage wss connection to wasm. fork a CDP lib to use that.
- create a proxy between http/wss maybe. And then fork a CDP lib to use http proxy i think.
> that's a great use case! the aria snapshot that browser mcp generates is enough to write tests for playwright using its role-based locators, but i may add a get_page_html tool in the same way that they're considering: https://github.com/microsoft/playwright-mcp/issues/103
I think this is bullshit. Isn't the dom or whatever sent to the model api?
When you automate using a remote browser, another service (not the AI model) gets all of the browsing activity and any information you send (e.g. usernames and passwords) that's required for the automation.
With Browser MCP, since you're automating locally, your sensitive data and browser activity (apart from the results of MCP tool calls that's sent to the AI model) stay on your device.
A lot of non technical people are using these tools to "vibe" their way to productivity. I would explicitly tell them that potentially "all" of their browsing data is going to be exposed to their LLM client and they need to use this at their own risk.
