Chrome Extension & CDP

Zero-Code Remote Browser Debugging via Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP)

Q: Does the extension require Chrome to run with command-line flags?

No. The ReMOAT extension utilizes Chrome Manifest V3 APIs and attaches securely with a single user click without requiring special command-line flags.

Attach to any browser tab with 1 click using Manifest V3 chrome.debugger and WebRTC DataChannels.

1. The Problem Statement & Production Bottlenecks

When you cannot or do not want to install an npm package into your codebase—such as when inspecting third-party staging builds, client deployments, or SaaS platforms—the ReMOAT Chrome Extension connects directly to Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP) to provide instant, hardware-level remote inspection.

⚠️ Modifying client source code just to reproduce a single production glitch is disruptive.

⚠️ Synthetic JavaScript event listeners cannot trigger cross-origin iframes or canvas components.

⚠️ Centralized WebSocket CDP proxies introduce high latency and data retention security risks.

2. How ReMOAT Resolves This with Zero Cloud Storage

✅ Zero-Code Injection: Install the Chrome extension and click "Start Session" on any active browser tab.

✅ Hardware-Level Mouse & Keyboard Events: Dispatch native OS-level clicks and key presses via CDP Input domain.

✅ Raw Network Packet Interception: Capture HTTP/HTTPS requests before Service Workers or browser extensions can modify them.

✅ P2P WebRTC Transmission: Tunnel CDP JSON-RPC messages over sub-10ms WebRTC SCTP DataChannels.

3. Technical Capabilities & Verification

Manifest V3 chrome.debugger Engine

Leverages the official Chromium debugger API for uncompromised access to the V8 engine and DOM tree.

Instant Cross-Origin Iframe Inspection

Inspect and control embedded widgets, payment forms, and OAuth popups that standard scripts cannot access.

Complete Privacy & Zero Telemetry Storage

All CDP frames stream peer-to-peer between the tester and developer workstation with zero server logging.
