Better Sidebar Web Agent Connector

Description

Lets Better Sidebar's Web Agent operate the tabs you choose. Requires Better Sidebar. Web Agent Connector is a small companion extension for Better Sidebar for Gemini & AI Studio. It lets Better Sidebar's Web Agent read and operate the web pages you hand to it: clicking, typing and running scripts in the tabs you choose, while you watch and approve each step. It does nothing on its own. Without Better Sidebar installed, it stays idle. --- 🔌 WHY A SEPARATE EXTENSION? The Web Agent works through Chrome's page debugger (the "debugger" permission). Chrome only allows this permission as a required one, and adding it to Better Sidebar would switch Better Sidebar off for every existing user until they approved it again. Keeping it in a separate extension means only the people who want the Web Agent ever grant it. --- 🧭 WHAT IT DOES • Attaches Chrome's debugger only to the tabs you give to the Web Agent from Better Sidebar • Passes page commands from Better Sidebar to those tabs, and nothing else • Shows which tabs are being controlled right now when you click its toolbar icon --- 🛡 GUARDRAILS • Only Better Sidebar can talk to it. Websites and other extensions get no answer. • Chrome shows its "started debugging this browser" bar on every controlled tab. Press Cancel on that bar and the task stops right away. • Disconnect all: release every controlled tab with one click from the toolbar icon. • Pause: refuse all page control until you turn it back on. The pause stays on across browser restarts. • Never operates Gemini, AI Studio, the Chrome Web Store, Google sign-in pages, or browser pages such as chrome://. If a controlled tab navigates to one of them, it is disconnected. • Only page-level commands are passed on: reading the page, mouse and keyboard input, and running scripts inside that page. Commands that reach cookies, network traffic, other tabs or the browser itself are refused. --- 🔒 PRIVACY • The Connector collects nothing, keeps no page content, and sends nothing to any server. • It only stores the IDs of the tabs it is attached to (cleared when the browser closes) and your Pause setting. • What the Web Agent reads from a page is handled by Better Sidebar and becomes part of your own Gemini conversation, the same as anything you type there yourself. --- 🚀 HOW TO USE 1. Install Better Sidebar for Gemini & AI Studio and turn on the Web Agent (Power Pack feature). Better Sidebar shows a short risk notice first. 2. When Better Sidebar asks for it, install this Connector. 3. In Gemini, type ">Web Agent" followed by your task. Or right-click any page and choose "Let Web Agent work on this page". 4. The task runs in Chrome's side panel. You approve every click, every piece of typing and every script before it runs. --- Disclaimer: This extension is an independent project and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Google. 🔗 LINKS • Better Sidebar: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/cjeoaidogoaekodkbhijgljhenknkenj • Privacy policy: https://papercranedev.com/better-sidebar/privacy • GitHub: https://github.com/Paper-Crane-Devteam/better-sidebar • Discord: https://discord.gg/FRzesxaGAx
