Streaming Browser Cookies to a Headless Server

Daniel wants his agent-driven browser off his laptop and onto the home server, but the server has never logged into anything. Chrome closed the obvious path in March 2025 when version 136 started ignoring the remote debugging port on your default profile — infostealers had been using it to lift sessions. So what are the real options? This episode walks through the extension cookie API and CookieCloud, headless browsers like Steel and Browserless, the one-way sync problem, Device Bound Session Credentials (DBSC), and the unglamorous option that might win: just log in once by hand and use Chrome's Memory Saver.
