## What it is
A Chrome/Edge/Chromium side-panel browser extension that connects active web context to a Hermes Agent runtime via a local gateway, Hermes Cloud, or self-hosted remote gateway. It provides site-aware drafting assistance and opt-in leased-tab browser control with explicit approval gates, using the models, tools, and MCP servers configured in Hermes.

## Use cases
- connect my browser context to a local AI agent runtime
- draft replies and posts with an AI side panel in Chrome
- let an AI agent read the current web page with approval gates
- use my locally configured LLM tools and MCP servers from the browser
- self-host an AI browser assistant instead of a cloud chatbot
- attach a side panel agent to Chromium tabs

## When to choose
- you already run Hermes Agent and want browser integration
- you want local-first agent access to web context with explicit approvals
- you use Chrome, Edge, or another Chromium browser and can load unpacked extensions

## When to avoid
- you want a one-click install from the Chrome Web Store
- you need a standalone chatbot not tied to Hermes Agent
- you need Firefox or Safari support
