# Control the Browser

> How Dume automates a real browser session inside Cowork desktop.

Dume can drive an actual browser: open a page, click, fill in forms, scrape content, and take screenshots, the same as if you'd done it yourself. This runs through the **Agent browser** skill, which is only in [Cowork desktop](/product/dume-cowork), not the web app; driving a real browser only makes sense running locally.

## How to use it

Just ask for the task in plain language. Dume picks the Agent browser skill on its own, the same way it picks any other skill:

```
Go to our internal dashboard and pull this week's numbers into a summary
Check our competitor's pricing page and tell me if anything changed
Fill out this form on the vendor portal with the details from my last email
```

## Using your existing logins

By default, Dume automates a blank browser session with no logins. If you'd rather it reuse your actual Chrome profile, so it can act on sites you're already signed into, turn that on under **Settings → Desktop App → Chrome profile access**. This is off by default and requires your explicit consent to enable. See [Desktop App settings](/account-settings/desktop-app).

<Note>
  This is browser automation, not full desktop control. Dume can act inside the browser it's driving; it doesn't yet control other apps on your machine.
