Description

Enables programmatic control of Google Chrome through AppleScript on macOS. Provides tab management (open, close, switch, list), navigation controls (reload, back, forward), JavaScript execution within tabs, and page content extraction. Designed as a Desktop Extensions demonstration showing how to build browser automation servers without requiring browser-specific extensions.
