# Chrome MV3 APIs

Use the `chrome` global in the REPL. It exposes whitelisted Chrome MV3 methods with the same method names and positional arguments as extension code.

```js
const tabs = await chrome.tabs.query({});
const bookmark = await chrome.bookmarks.create({ title: 'Aside', url: 'https://aside.com' });
```

Only methods listed in this skill are callable. Use Asidewright (`page`, `locator`, `snapshot`, `openTab`) for page interaction; use `chrome.*` for browser-profile state such as bookmarks, tabs, windows, history, downloads, and top sites.
