# Browser Extension

### Overview

Stakpak Browser Extension lets your AI agent use your real browser (The one you’re already logged into)

Your agent sends simple CLI commands (navigate, click, type), and they run directly in your active session.

Its gives stakpak access to use the browser

### Installation

Stakpak Browser has two parts: a **Chrome extension** and a **CLI tool**. Both are required.

#### 1. Install the Chrome Extension

1. Open the [Staktab Chrome Web Store page](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/staktab/hfmedpedlflobjkcfimamamlekbnpknn)
2. Click **"Add to Chrome"**
3. Confirm the permissions

{% hint style="info" %}
The extension requests tab and scripting permissions solely to execute commands issued by your local CLI. It operates entirely locally, no data is sent to external servers.
{% endhint %}

If the daemon is running and the extension is connected, you're ready to go.

### Permissions & Security

Stakpak Browser requests the minimum permissions needed to function:

* **Tab access:** To navigate, snapshot, and manage tabs
* **Scripting:** To execute click, type, and scroll actions on page elements

All operations happen **locally**. No data is sent to external servers. The extension cannot act without an explicit command from your CLI.
