Manus has launched the Manus Browser Operator, a new browser extension currently in beta for Pro, Plus, and Team users. This tool allows Manus to function directly within a user's browser, enabling automation for authenticated sessions on platforms like premium research tools and CRM systems. It supports Chrome and Edge, with plans to expand compatibility to other browsers. Users can activate the "My Browser" connector to authorize secure sessions and oversee automated workflows, ensuring they maintain control and transparency during the process. The extension targets professionals and teams that rely on complex web-based workflows involving sensitive information. By operating within the user's browser environment, it avoids complications that arise from cloud-only automation, such as unfamiliar logins or session expirations. Earlier versions of Manus worked through a cloud sandbox, which limited access to resources requiring logins. The new extension enhances reliability by leveraging the local setup of users. Feedback from industry experts and early testers highlights the significance of integrating cloud and local browser automation, especially for workflows that depend on proprietary or subscription services. Manus aims to eliminate workflow bottlenecks that have persisted due to the separation of cloud automation from local browser sessions. This approach merges the benefits of isolated cloud processes with the familiarity and security of local operations, making it a promising development for users in need of efficient data management solutions.
