hermes-plugin-chrome-profiles adds one tool (browser_profile) and one slash command (/browser-profile) that let a Hermes user switch all of the agent's browser surfaces at once, the Browser Use CLI backend, the built-in navigate/click/snapshot/vision tools, and vault-fill helpers, to a specific, named Chromium-family browser (Chrome, Chromium, Brave, Brave Origin or Edge) reached over the Chrome DevTools Protocol. It works by setting BROWSER_CDP_URL, the same override Hermes' /browser connect command uses, which sits above every other backend configuration, and it flushes any live browser session so the next tool call immediately targets the new endpoint. Profiles are declared in the user's own Hermes config.yaml rather than inside the plugin directory, so a plugin reinstall does not wipe them; each profile names a remote-debugging port and can optionally set the browser family, an explicit binary path, a custom user-data directory, an inner profile name, and headless mode, or mark itself as remote (reachability checked, nothing launched locally). The plugin explicitly refuses to point a profile's data directory at a browser's already-running default profile, because modern Chromium rejects remote debugging there and the running instance holds a lock on it; for browsing as the user's actual logged-in self it instead points to Hermes' built-in use_real_profile support, which launches on a snapshot copy. It also detects, before launching, when another process already holds a given profile's data directory, a case Chromium silently absorbs into a no-op rather than erroring, and fails immediately naming the offending process id instead of waiting out a launch timeout. Browsers the plugin itself launched are terminated on plugin unload or reload, while a browser that was already running is left alone. It targets Hermes users who keep separate work, personal or automated-scraping browser identities, or who need to drive a browser running on another machine, and ships a self-check script that exercises its configuration logic without launching anything.
