Environment variables

  • BROWSERTAP_PREFERRED_BROWSER Which connected browser an unqualified call targets: chrome, edge or opera. Defaults to whichever registered first.
  • BROWSERTAP_MODE Approval profile: lab or safe. Defaults to lab, which skips approval prompts and still enforces the cross-process lock, the quiet-input gate, target activation and on-screen confirmation; safe asks before every physical input.
  • BROWSERTAP_BRIDGE_PORT Base loopback port for the bridge daemon. Defaults to 18765.
  • BROWSERTAP_STATE_DIR Directory holding the bridge token and runtime state. Defaults to ~/.browsertap.
