What is OpenClaw browser agent hosting?

It is managed OpenClaw hosting with a persistent hosted browser sidecar. The agent can use local CDP, and the account owner can open the same browser from the dashboard.

Does the hosted browser keep cookies?

Yes. The browser profile persists on the instance volume until you reset it, so login state can survive restarts.

Can I take over the browser manually?

Yes. Open the browser from the dashboard for login, MFA, CAPTCHA, downloads, uploads, or judgment calls.

Browser Agent Hosting

OpenClaw browser agent hosting for login-heavy workflows

Give your managed OpenClaw instance a persistent browser it can keep. The agent gets local CDP access, while you get dashboard viewer and takeover controls for authentication, MFA, CAPTCHA, uploads, and review.

Best starting point: the managed OpenClaw hosting overview covers plans, runtime boundaries, and onboarding. This page focuses on the persistent browser sidecar and dashboard takeover controls.

Why hosted browser matters

The problem is not opening Chrome. It is keeping browser work usable.

Logged-in workflows

Authenticate once from the dashboard and let the agent continue inside the same persistent profile.

Downloads and uploads

Keep browser files and state close to the managed instance instead of shuffling them across local machines.

Human-in-the-loop steps

Take over for MFA, CAPTCHA, sensitive confirmations, or final review without moving the workflow elsewhere.
