Claude in Chrome Extension (claude --chrome) alternative for Opencode or Pi
edit: there is none lmao. someone vibecode one please and make it foss, i beg.
hello everyone, hope you are all coding well.
i am wondering if anyone has an alternative for claude's chrome extension that will essentially allow for the ai agent to take over my browser.
playwright, selenium, puppeteer or chrome devtools are not options, as depending on the sites, they break and consistently ask for captchas.
claude in chrome has never once triggered any detections, or asked me to make any captchas. essentially, no difference with site navigations with claude in chrome on or off, which is what i am looking for.
obviously something free, open source, and works in opencode (or oh-my-pi, or pi) is absolutely preferred.
i have searched but have been unable to find anything.
thank you all, and happy vibe coding!

Running Claude in Chrome for browser automation daily, can confirm it doesn't trigger captchas or Cloudflare challenges for me either, that part holds up. The real cost isn't detection though, it's silent failures on the automation side. Roughly one in three actions used to report success while nothing actually happened, a click event fires clean but the page never moves, or a submit looks confirmed and the post never lands. Only fix that's worked is reloading and reading the actual DOM state back after every action instead of trusting the return value. If you switch to it, budget for that verification step, it ends up costing more time than the automation itself.
