Chrome extension (daily profile)
Remote your default Chrome with saved logins — for sites that block automated browsers. Requires Windows desktop Chrome and the Alien AI app to pair.
1. Native host + browser agent
Install alienai_remote_browser and register the native messaging host
com.alienai.c35.remote (included in the extension zip when published).
Or use the remote-browser OTA bundle when chrome-extension zip is published.
2. Load the extension
- Download chrome-extension.zip (when available).
- Unzip to a folder, e.g.
%LOCALAPPDATA%\AlienAI\chrome_extension\. - Open
chrome://extensions→ Developer mode → Load unpacked → select the folder withmanifest.json.
3. Pair with Alien AI
Click Pair device in the extension popup. A tab opens with your code — or open the pair page after the host starts pairing.
In the app: Devices → Pair with code.
Troubleshooting
- Native host not reachable — reinstall host manifest for your user; path must point to
alienai_remote_browser.exe. - No video in app — ensure a WebRTC Remote session is open; capture runs only while viewing.
- Policy installs — use updates.xml + packed
.crxafter publish.
