According to an official announcement from Manus, on November 19, 2025, the Manus team unveiled its Browser Operator browser extension. This innovative product is engineered to overcome key technical obstacles in cloud automation tools, particularly those related to identity verification, session management, and similar challenges.

Unlike traditional solutions, this extension operates directly within the user's local browser, eliminating dependence on cloud servers. By leveraging authenticated session permissions and trusted IP addresses, it can carry out tasks while circumventing security barriers such as CAPTCHA challenges and session timeouts.

The extension adopts a "local - first" architecture and automates operations through a straightforward three - step process. After activating the "My Browser" connector, users grant Manus permission to take control of the current session. They can then monitor task progress in real - time via a dedicated tab.

This versatile tool seamlessly integrates with high - value resources, including commercial databases like Crunchbase and PitchBook, as well as internal enterprise systems such as CRMs and data platforms. This integration enables complex workflows, such as cross - platform data verification and report generation.

As a pure browser extension solution, Manus does away with the need for dedicated API deployments or cloud servers, resulting in substantial cost savings. Currently, the beta version is accessible to Pro, Plus, and Team users. It is compatible with Chrome and Edge browsers, with plans to extend support to other platforms in the near future.

This product is especially well - suited for scenarios involving sensitive information. Users have the flexibility to close the tab at any time, instantly terminating the task process and maintaining full control over operations throughout.
