 ### User profile
 
-Playwright MCP will launch the browser with the new profile, located at
+You can run Playwright MCP with persistent profile like a regular browser (default), in isolated contexts for testing sessions, or connect to your existing browser using the browser extension.
 
-```
+**Persistent profile**
-- `%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\ms-playwright\mcp-{channel}-profile` on Windows
+
-- `~/Library/Caches/ms-playwright/mcp-{channel}-profile` on macOS
+All the logged in information will be stored in the persistent profile, you can delete it between sessions if you'd like to clear the offline state.
-- `~/.cache/ms-playwright/mcp-{channel}-profile` on Linux
+Persistent profile is located at the following locations and you can override it with the `--user-data-dir` argument.
+
+```bash
+# Windows
+%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\ms-playwright\mcp-{channel}-profile
+
+# macOS
+- ~/Library/Caches/ms-playwright/mcp-{channel}-profile
+
+# Linux
+- ~/.cache/ms-playwright/mcp-{channel}-profile
 ```
 
-All the logged in information will be stored in that profile, you can delete it between sessions if you'd like to clear the offline state.
+**Isolated**
+
+In the isolated mode, each session is started in the isolated profile. Every time you ask MCP to close the browser,
+the session is closed and all the storage state for this session is lost. You can provide initial storage state
+to the browser via the config's `contextOptions` or via the `--storage-state` argument. Learn more about the storage
+state [here](https://playwright.dev/docs/auth).

-Below are some examples of prompts to use with Playwright MCP. Draw inspiration from them to create your own. If you come up with a new prompt that works well, feel free to let us know in an issue or pull request.
-
-## Write a regression test for a bug report
-
-We have received a user report about a bug on our website https://debs-obrien.github.io/playwright-movies-app. I'd like you to verify if this bug exists by trying to follow the steps. If you see different behaviour, explain how it's different. If you see the same behaviour, please write me a Playwright regression test that encapsulates the buggy user flow. While writing the test, draw inspiration from the Playwright code you ran. Here's the user report:
-
-Howdy. I love your movies site, but there's something fishy going on. I'm looking at The Garfield Movie - a spectacular film - but somehow it's showing the wrong length. The movie is 90mins long, I measured myself yesterday! But somehow your site is claiming 101mins. Am I looking at it wrong, or is there a bug?
-
-**Output:**
-
-```ts
-import { test, expect } from '@playwright/test';

- * Regression test for bug: The Garfield Movie showing incorrect runtime
- * User reported actual runtime is 90 minutes, but site shows 101 minutes

-  // Look for The Garfield Movie and click on it

-  // Verify we're on the correct movie page
-  await expect(page.getByRole('heading', { name: 'The Garfield Movie', level: 1 })).toBeVisible();
-  
-  // Check the runtime information
-  // The bug: Expected runtime should be 90 min, but site shows 101 min
-  const movieInfoText = await page.locator('text=English / 101 min. / 2024').textContent();
-  
-  // This test will fail because of the bug (which is what we want to demonstrate)

+# Playwright MCP Chrome Extension
+
+## Introduction
+
+The Playwright MCP Chrome Extension allows you to connect to pages in your existing browser and leverage the state of your default user profile. This means the AI assistant can interact with websites where you're already logged in, using your existing cookies, sessions, and browser state, providing a seamless experience without requiring separate authentication or setup.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Chrome/Edge/Chromium browser
+
+## Installation Steps
+
+### Download the Extension
+
+Download the latest Chrome extension from GitHub:
+- **Download link**: https://github.com/microsoft/playwright-mcp/releases
+
+### Load Chrome Extension
+
+1. Open Chrome and navigate to `chrome://extensions/`
+2. Enable "Developer mode" (toggle in the top right corner)
+3. Click "Load unpacked" and select the extension directory
+
+### Configure Playwright MCP server
+
+Configure Playwright MCP server to connect to the browser using the extension by passing the `--extension` option when running the MCP server:
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "playwright-extension": {
+      "command": "npx",
+      "args": [
+        "@playwright/mcp@latest",
+        "--extension"
+      ]
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+### Browser Tab Selection
+
+When the LLM interacts with the browser for the first time, it will load a page where you can select which browser tab the LLM will connect to. This allows you to control which specific page the AI assistant will interact with during the session.
