How it works
- Press the Browsers section's name and choose Add browser, then give it a name and a URL. It opens at once.
- Under Sharing, choose whom it shares cookies and sign-ins with: Origami, every browser; Workspace, this workspace's browsers; Browser, none; or Incognito, which keeps nothing once it stops.
- Its toolbar has back, forward, reload, home and zoom, an address bar, and developer tools. Set as home makes the page you are on its start page.
- While a browser has the keyboard, ⌘R reloads, ⌘⇧R pressed twice reloads with the site's data, cache and cookies cleared, ⌘+ and ⌘− zoom, ⌘0 resets the zoom, and ⌥⌘I opens developer tools.
- Agents use the same tab through the MCP server: they read the page, click, type, take screenshots, and read the console and network log.
Good to know
- A login survives a restart. A browser not shared with all of Origami shows its choice when you point at its row.
- Removing a browser that keeps its own data forgets it, and removing a workspace forgets its browsers' shared data.
- When a page needs you, for a login or a captcha, an agent hands it over: the tab shows Waiting for you with the reason, and Continue hands it back.
- Browsers are not available on Linux.
