Extensions API

The Extensions API is Steel's surface for uploading, managing, and injecting Chrome extensions into browser sessions.

The Extensions API lets you store Chrome extensions once and attach them to Steel sessions when workflows need shared in-browser behavior.

That can include overlays, DOM observers, telemetry, masking helpers, or other logic that should live inside the browser rather than inside every prompt or script.

Why it matters

  • It makes browser-side tooling reusable across sessions and teams.
  • It keeps extension lifecycle separate from Playwright or Puppeteer code.
  • It is useful when prompts and selectors alone do not keep the workflow stable.
