| Browser | Use it when | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cloud browser | Your app is on the internet. Runs go in parallel; nothing runs on your computer. |
| 2 | Browser in the desktop app | Your app is on localhost, a test server or your VPN. You can watch and take over. |
2. Use it
Section titled “2. Use it”The browser opens as tabs in the KaDeep window, and the agent drives the same tabs you see.
- Type an address in Search or enter URL, or pick a server running on this computer. KaDeep lists the local servers it finds, such as your dev server.
- Use Back, Forward, New tab and Zoom like any browser.
- Tabs the agent opened are marked Agent.
3. Choose a profile
Section titled “3. Choose a profile”Under Profile for new tabs, choose:
| Profile | What it keeps |
|---|---|
| Default | Logins and cookies, between sessions. Sign in once and the agent stays signed in. |
| Incognito | Nothing. Every session starts signed out. |
To start fresh, open the Browser menu and clear the profile’s cookies or cache.
