Manus, the highly anticipated AI agent platform, has officially launched a powerful new feature - Manus Browser Operator. This is a Chrome/Edge browser extension that, with just one click, instantly upgrades your everyday browser into a full-featured AI agent browser. No additional downloads, no new environment, no need to log in again - Manus AI can directly control your local browser, perfectly bypassing common issues like CAPTCHAs, login expiration, and IP bans often encountered with cloud-based automation tools.
This feature is currently available for Beta testing for Pro, Plus, and Team paying users, while free users are not supported yet.
Previously, cloud-based AI agents would get stuck when encountering paywalls or two-factor authentication. Now, Manus directly "borrows" your real IP, Cookie, and login status, making the process as smooth as a human operation. While OpenAI Operator and Anthropic Computer Use are still struggling in the cloud, Manus has moved the battlefield to the user's local machine - this move has left competitors far behind.

Core Killer Feature: Real Local Environment, Say Goodbye to All Automation Pain Points
The biggest breakthrough of Manus Browser Operator lies in its "local-first" approach:
AI operations run entirely within your browser, using your real IP, logged-in session, and network environment;
The system treats AI actions as "your own operations," completely avoiding additional login verification, CAPTCHAs, and anti-scraping mechanisms;
Supports long-term session activity, preventing mid-task expiration and forced re-login;
Currently supports Chrome and Edge, with plans to expand to more browsers in the future.
Compared to traditional cloud sandbox automation, this is like giving AI a "perfect disguise ID," allowing it to thrive on any protected platform. Real productivity scenarios: access paid databases, CRM, and internal systems at will. After installing the extension, simply enable the "My Browser" connector in the Manus dashboard, authorize once, and start using it. Typical high-value scenarios include:
Automated data retrieval on paid research platforms: directly log in to your Crunchbase, PitchBook, SimilarWeb, Semrush, Ahrefs, etc., automatically search, export, and compare data;
Deep automation of CRM systems: batch update customer information, analyze sales funnels, and generate reports in already logged-in CRMs like Salesforce, HubSpot, Zoho;
Data extraction from any paid or membership platform: use your own account to automatically complete searches, downloads, and summaries, without worrying about account restrictions;
Complex cross-platform composite tasks: pull data from multiple logged-in platforms, perform cross-analysis, and finally generate structured reports or execute actions directly (such as batch-form filling, scheduling meetings).
AIbase Review: This is no longer simple "browser automation," but rather extending the reach of AI agents directly into enterprises' most critical private systems. The daily efficiency of investors, BDMs, salespeople, and researchers has been multiplied by ten! Security and Control: You are always the owner. Despite its powerful features, Manus still keeps control firmly in the user's hands:
Each task requires manual authorization of a specific tab;
All operations are visible, and you can close the tab at any time to interrupt the AI;
The AI cannot access your password, and all actions are completed locally;
It supports real-time monitoring of every step the AI takes, including clicks, inputs, and page navigation.
Onboarding and Ecosystem: One-click Installation, Take Off Immediately
Getting started is extremely simple:
Search for "Manus Browser Operator" in the Chrome Web Store and install the extension;
Search for "Manus Browser Operator" in the Chrome Web Store and install the extension;
Log in to the Manus official website dashboard, and enable the "My Browser" connector;
Authorize browser permissions during the first use, and you're ready to go.
Currently, the Beta phase is limited to paying users, and it may be open to more plans in the future. Manus officials stated that further optimization of multi-tab parallel processing, visual understanding, and complex form handling capabilities will follow. AIbase Conclusion: The release of Manus Browser Operator officially announces the arrival of the "local AI agent" era. In the past, we used the browser as a tool, now the browser has become the "body" of AI. For professionals who rely on paid databases, CRMs, and private systems, this might be the most valuable tool of 2025 - if you don't try it now, your competitors might already be using AI to leave you behind!
