Introduce the shared surfaces frontend service and stylesheet so Browser and Desktop can register docked or floating live UI without special cases in modals.js. Update Browser and right-canvas integration to preserve active viewers across canvas/modal switches and avoid creating blank tabs unless explicitly requested.
Expose extension deletion from the Browser internal settings page and keep the compact Browser dropdown focused on quick enable/install actions.\n\nAdd a guarded uninstall API that only deletes Browser-managed extension folders, updates enabled extension paths, refreshes the settings UI, and covers managed versus external paths with regression tests.
Make Markdown the first-class document workflow in the office skills and state the Desktop/LibreOffice path as opt-in for GUI or binary Office work.
Remove passive Browser canvas auto-opening from tool results; Browser result handling now only syncs an already-open Browser canvas, while explicit user buttons can still open the canvas or modal. Add regression coverage for the no-auto-open policy and Markdown-first skill guidance.
Add Browser settings for the default starting page and tool-result autofocus, and wire them through config, APIs, runtime opens, and the settings UI.
Resolve Chrome extension __MSG_* manifest labels from locale metadata so installed extensions show readable names. Stabilize Browser viewport negotiation across canvas and modal surfaces by clearing stale frames, waiting for stable surface dimensions, and forcing sync after dock transitions. Move Browser loading/error state into a thin bottom status bar so it no longer overlays the page viewport.
Refine the Browser modal UI with more native-feeling tabs, consistent chrome controls, right-side tab close buttons, and a cleaner extension dropdown. Move the Browser LLM preset into the dropdown with the active Main Model summary, simplify extension settings, remove the global extension enable switch and legacy extension root behavior, and add per-extension enable toggles.
Also updates the Chrome extension install/review flow with contextual warning copy, “Scan with A0”, cleaner labels, hidden empty extension state, and regression coverage for the new Browser UX.
- Always launch Browser with full Playwright Chromium instead of switching between headless shell and extension mode
- Cache Chromium under /a0/usr/plugins/_browser/playwright with legacy lookup for existing installs
- Store installed Browser extensions under /a0/usr/plugins/_browser/extensions with legacy extension-root compatibility
- Show clearer first-run Chromium install messaging and extend the initial Browser timeout
- Fix Browser spinner animation for startup and extension install states
- Update Docker Playwright install script and regression coverage
- Download Chrome Web Store extensions using the detected Chrome prodversion instead of a stale hardcoded version
- Update extension settings copy to reflect Chrome Web Store URL support
- Serialize Browser persistent-context startup and clean stale Chromium profile singleton locks
- Increase Browser viewer subscribe timeout for extension-enabled cold starts
- Add regressions for Web Store download URL handling, slow viewer startup, and stale profile lock cleanup
Introduce the new built-in Browser plugin for Agent Zero, replacing the legacy
browser-use-based browser agent with a direct Playwright-powered browser tool,
live WebUI viewer, browser session controls, status APIs, configuration, and
extension-management support.
Add browser-specific modal behavior so the browser can run as a floating,
resizable, no-backdrop window, including modal focus, toggle, and idempotent
open helpers for richer WebUI surfaces.
Remove the old `_browser_agent` core plugin and the `browser-use` dependency,
then clean up stale browser-model wiring and references across agent code,
model configuration docs, setup guides, troubleshooting docs, skills, and
Agent Zero knowledge.
Update regression and WebUI extension-surface coverage for the new browser
architecture and modal behavior.
The legacy browser-use implementation has been extracted from core so it can
continue separately as a community plugin published through the A0 Plugin Index for any user or professional that were relying on it for workflow.
