About:
chrome-cli is a command-line interface for controlling Google Chrome or Chromium browsers via the Chrome DevTools Protocol. It allows users to interact with browser tabs, execute JavaScript, retrieve page content, and manage browser windows without manual interaction. This tool is invaluable for automation, testing, and integrating browser control into shell scripts.

Key Features:

Control tabs, windows, and browser sessions
Execute JavaScript and retrieve page data
Native command-line interface for scripting
Support for multiple browser instances

Use Cases:

Automating web scraping or data extraction tasks
Integrating browser actions into CI/CD pipelines
Automated web application testing and monitoring

Alternatives:

Playwright/Puppeteer – More comprehensive browser automation with built-in testing frameworks, but heavier and requires Node.js
Selenium – Industry-standard for cross-browser automation, but more complex setup and configuration
