Profiles

Profiles are named browser routing configs. In practice:
  • fluffbuzz: launches/attaches to a dedicated FluffBuzz-managed Chrome instance (isolated user data dir).
  • chrome: controls your existing Chrome tab(s) via the Chrome extension relay.

​
Chrome extension relay (attach via toolbar button)

This mode lets the agent control an existing Chrome tab that you attach manually (it does not auto-attach). Install the unpacked extension to a stable path: 
fluffbuzz browser extension install
fluffbuzz browser extension path
Then Chrome → chrome://extensions → enable “Developer mode” → “Load unpacked” → select the printed folder. Full guide: Chrome extension

Remote browser control (node host proxy)

If the Gateway runs on a different machine than the browser, run a node host on the machine that has Chrome/Brave/Edge/Chromium. The Gateway will proxy browser actions to that node (no separate browser control server required). Use gateway.nodes.browser.mode to control auto-routing and gateway.nodes.browser.node to pin a specific node if multiple are connected.
