Measured in Brave on 2026-11-14: an inactive tab takes trusted CDP clicks,
key presses, text and mouse moves, and Page.captureScreenshot renders it
live. Only mouseWheel hangs, waiting for a frame. The upstream guard that
refused input to every hidden page was wrong for inactive tabs, and it is
what made a window per session look necessary.
- New sessions' tabs open inactive in the user's last focused window, in
the session's tab group; a window is created only when none is open.
- New groups start collapsed, unless their tab is the one showing, and
expand when a tab in them is brought forward. Existing groups keep the
user's setting.
- Input is refused up front only in a minimized window (untested there).
- chrome_scroll scrolls hidden pages by script instead of the wheel.
- Focus emulation on attach, so blur-sensitive menus stay open.
- Background mode is off by default. Calls still default to background;
background:false or chrome_tab activate brings a tab forward.
- Agent guidance, tool descriptions and docs say so.

A window is created only when none is open. Your existing tabs and windows are never reused or overwritten. Pass `targetId`/`urlIncludes`/`titleIncludes` to deliberately act on a tab you already have open. The window survives `/reload` and Chrome service-worker restarts because ownership is tracked by id and mirrored to `chrome.storage.session`. It is closed when you run `/chrome revoke` and on real session end (not on `/reload`); cleanup only ever closes that session's own window/tab. |
