Embedded Browser

Verne includes a full Chromium browser as part of the workspace. Open it in the right panel and it sits alongside your editor and terminals.

Opening a tab

Click the browser icon in the right panel to open a new tab. You’ll land on a new-tab page with an address bar. Type a URL and press Return to load it.

Address bar

The address bar supports history-based autocomplete. As you type, it suggests URLs from your browsing history. It also detects search queries and sends them to your default search engine rather than treating them as URLs.

Back, Forward, and Reload buttons sit to the left of the address bar. They work the same way as any browser toolbar.

Favorites

Star the current page to save it to your Favorites sidebar. From the sidebar you can:

  • Rename a favorite by clicking its name.
  • Remove it by right-clicking and choosing Remove.

History

The History sidebar groups your visited pages into Last 7 Days, Last 30 Days, and Older. Click any entry to reopen it.

DevTools

Toggle Chrome DevTools with the DevTools button in the toolbar. This opens the standard Chrome developer panel for the current page: Elements, Console, Network, and the rest.

Using the browser with agents

Agents can drive the embedded browser through the Verne MCP server. They act on the same tabs you see, so you can watch them navigate, click, and fill forms. See Agent browser control.
