Web browser

A local browser window the app launches and drives itself, Chromium, Firefox, or WebKit.

A Web browser profile tests web applications in a browser that AskUI Desktop launches and controls itself. No AgentOS, no separate install.

Create it

  1. Add deviceWeb browser.
  2. Fill in the fields:
    • Browser: Chromium, Firefox, or WebKit (select, default Chromium)
    • Start URL: full URL every session opens with, e.g. https://staging.example.com (text, optional)
    • Headless: no visible window; the agent still sees the page through screenshots (toggle, default off)
  3. Add device.
The Web browser profile editor with browser choice, start URL, and headless toggle

Run it

  1. Connect: the first connect downloads the browser bundle once, expect a short wait.
  2. Pick the profile in the test's Run on dropdown and press Run.

Headless keeps your screen free; use a visible window when you want to watch. One profile per environment works well: Staging web app, Prod smoke, same tests, different start URL.
