Agent update
Manus Browser Operator
Manus Browser Operator, launched on 18 Nov 2025, is a browser extension that lets Manus work in your own Chrome or Edge session, on sites you are already signed in to, instead of only in a cloud browser.
How to use Manus Browser Operator for small business
A buyer's agent could let Manus pull comparables from a research platform they already subscribe to, without forwarding logins to a cloud browser that may not be recognised. A sales coordinator could ask it to update records in a signed-in CRM and draft a short summary, while watching the work in a dedicated tab. A bookkeeper could have it collect figures from an authenticated supplier or bank portal, then stop the task instantly by closing that tab if something looks off.
You turn on the My Browser connector, then authorise each session when Manus asks. It opens a new tab in a tab group named after the task, and you can watch, take over by clicking the tab, or stop by closing it. Since 22 Nov 2025 it has been available to all users. Chrome and Edge are recommended. Complex interactions such as drag-and-drop or multi-step forms may not work perfectly yet. If a site holds sensitive information, review what Manus will access before you authorise it.
Most useful for: Executive Assistant – Plan and book travel, accommodation and itineraries, Virtual Assistant – Research suppliers or options for the owner, Purchasing Officer – Place purchase orders and follow up lines that are late, short or not as specified
Frequently asked questions
How do I set it up, and which plan do I need?
In connectors, turn on My Browser. When you assign a task, Manus asks permission to take control, and you click Authorise for that session. The post says it is available to all users and does not name a required plan or an extra fee.
Can it use my logged-in sessions, and how do I stop it?
Yes. That is the point of the local extension: it works in your already signed-in Chrome or Edge session. Every action is logged, and you can stop a task instantly by closing the dedicated tab, or take over by clicking into it. Review access before you authorise a site that holds sensitive information.
Which browsers does it support, and what may not work yet?
Chrome and Edge are recommended, with support for additional browsers described as coming soon. Complex interactions such as drag-and-drop or multi-step forms may not work perfectly yet. If a site holds sensitive information, review what Manus will access before you authorise it.
