Claude for Edge
Claude Code, already installed and already signed in, driving the Edge tab in front of you. Anthropic’s own extension is Chrome only; this one loads wherever Chromium loads, Edge included.
Microsoft Edge
Claude
for
Edge.
Gemini
for
Edge.
Copilot
is
not
the
only
door.
Edge comes with Copilot, one assistant, one account, one model. Browsentic adds a second door: an AI side panel run by the agent CLI you already have, from a daemon on your own machine.
Pick the agent
Not the one your browser came with
The popup lists every agent CLI on your PATH and switching is one click, which is the part a built-in assistant structurally cannot offer.
Gemini for Edge
Gemini in Chrome is not coming to Edge. Antigravity is Google’s agent CLI, it runs Gemini on your machine, and Browsentic points it at Edge without asking Microsoft or Google for permission.
Codex for Edge
The same OpenAI models Copilot is built on, except you are running the Codex CLI yourself, on your ChatGPT plan, and you can switch away from it tomorrow.
Mistral Vibe
betaMistral’s CLI, on the same footing as the rest. Beta while its session handling settles down.
Grok Build
betaxAI’s CLI. Also beta: it works, it has simply had less mileage in the panel.
What Edge gives you
Chromium underneath, so nothing is cut
Edge takes the Chrome build unchanged, which means the full tool set, including the nine that Firefox cannot have.
All 41 tools
The trusted click, both captcha tools, the four diagnostics tools and the two page-code tools are built on the DevTools Protocol, and Edge exposes it like any Chromium browser. Nothing is held back for being Edge.
No Microsoft account in the loop
The daemon runs on your machine as you, the extension talks to it over loopback, and the agent is a CLI you already signed in to. No work or school account is involved, and nothing is routed through a Microsoft service.
Whichever profile you want it in
Load it in the Edge profile you actually work in. It pairs there, with that profile’s logins, and leaves the other one untouched. Profiles do not share extension storage, so the two never see each other.
It is not competing with Copilot
Copilot answers about the page and is wired into Edge itself. Browsentic acts on the page, through a panel you approve step by step. Both can sit in the same browser, and plenty of people keep both.
Install
The Chrome path, with an edge:// prefix
Edge is Chromium, so it takes the same Manifest V3 build Chrome does, from the same release. Only the extensions page is spelled differently.
-
01
Run the command
The npm package carries the extension build. It writes the extension out, starts the local daemon and prints a pairing code. Nothing is cloned and nothing is compiled.
shnpx browsentic setup -
02
Load it at edge://extensions
Turn on Developer mode in the left sidebar, press Load unpacked, and choose the folder the command printed. On Windows that is %USERPROFILE%\browsentic\extension\chrome-mv3. Pin Browsentic so the popup is one click away.
path~/browsentic/extension/chrome-mv3 -
03
Paste the pairing code
Into the popup, then press Connect. Single use, ten minutes, and the session key survives restarts. Run browsentic pair for a fresh one.
shnpx browsentic pair
Edge on Windows, macOS or Linux, with Node.js 20 or newer and one agent CLI on your PATH.
Questions
What people ask about Edge
Is there a Claude extension for Edge?
Anthropic’s own Claude in Chrome is Chrome only. Browsentic is a Manifest V3 extension, so Edge loads it like any other Chromium browser, and it runs Claude Code from your own machine rather than a hosted agent on a paid Claude plan.
How is this different from Copilot Mode in Edge?
Copilot is Microsoft’s assistant, built into the browser, on Microsoft’s models and tied to a Microsoft account. Browsentic is an MIT licensed extension that spawns the agent CLI you already run, on your machine, and lets you switch which one with a click. Copilot mostly answers about the page; Browsentic acts on it, with an approval in front of anything that reaches someone else.
Can I use Gemini in Edge?
Yes, through Antigravity, Google’s agent CLI, which runs Gemini locally. Google’s own Gemini in Chrome feature is part of Chrome and is not coming to Edge, but nothing stops the CLI from driving an Edge tab.
Does it work in a managed or work profile?
It loads like any unpacked extension, so it depends on whether your organisation allows Developer mode and unpacked extensions in Edge. Where policy blocks that, it will not load, and that is the policy working as intended. Personal profiles are unaffected.
Is the Edge build different from the Chrome one?
No. One Manifest V3 build covers every Chromium browser, from the same release, at the same version. Edge, Brave, Arc, Vivaldi and Opera all take the folder the setup command prints.
Stop describing the page. Hand it over.
Free and MIT licensed. No signup, no key to paste, and a fresh install connects to nothing until you pair it yourself.
