+<!--- End of options generated section -->
 
+### User profile
 
-### Running headless browser (Browser without GUI).
+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.
 
-This mode is useful for background or batch operations.
+**Persistent profile**
+
+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.
+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
+```
+
+**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).

-### Tool Modes
+<details>
+<summary><b>Docker</b></summary>
 
-The tools are available in two modes:
-
-1. **Snapshot Mode** (default): Uses accessibility snapshots for better performance and reliability
-2. **Vision Mode**: Uses screenshots for visual-based interactions
-
-To use Vision Mode, add the `--vision` flag when starting the server:
+**NOTE:** The Docker implementation only supports headless chromium at the moment.
 
 ```js
 {
   "mcpServers": {
     "playwright": {
-      "command": "npx",
-      "args": [
-        "@playwright/mcp@latest",
-        "--vision"
-      ]
+      "command": "docker",
+      "args": ["run", "-i", "--rm", "--init", "--pull=always", "mcr.microsoft.com/playwright/mcp"]
     }
   }
 }
 ```
 
-Vision Mode works best with the computer use models that are able to interact with elements using
-X Y coordinate space, based on the provided screenshot.
+You can build the Docker image yourself.

+# 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.
