chrome-cli is a native macOS command line utility for controlling Google Chrome and compatible browsers (Brave, Edge, Arc, Vivaldi, etc.) via the Scripting Bridge. It lets you list, open, close, reload, and activate tabs and windows, and execute JavaScript from the terminal.
Use cases
- control chrome from the command line
- open a url in a new chrome tab from terminal
- list all open tabs in chrome
- close or reload chrome tabs via script
- run javascript in a chrome tab from the shell
- automate browser tab management on mac
When to choose
- you're on macOS and want to script or automate Chrome-compatible browsers
- you want a lightweight native binary instead of browser extensions or Selenium
- you need to manage tabs/windows across Chrome, Brave, Edge, Arc, etc. from shell scripts
When to avoid
- you're on Linux or Windows - it only works on macOS
- you need deep browser automation like clicking elements or scraping rendered pages - use a tool like Playwright or Selenium instead
- you need JavaScript execution without enabling 'Allow JavaScript from Apple Events' in the browser
