Chrome extension renamed to "n8n Browser Use" with composable Vue UI

The n8n Browser Bridge Chrome extension is being renamed to "n8n Browser Use" and receiving a significant UI overhaul in preparation for publishing on the Chrome Web Store. The extension, which enables n8n AI to control browser tabs, now has a modular interface built from reusable Vue 3 composables using the n8n design system.

The popup UI has been decomposed into discrete components — StatusBadge, TabList, TabItem, and SettingsPanel — managed by a central useConnection composable that maintains a reactive tab registry synchronized with Chrome tab events. This replaces the previous monolithic App.vue and should make the interface more maintainable.

The extension's public key has been updated to match its Chrome Web Store entry, and a new bundle.mjs script automates packaging the built extension into a zip file. A default log level shift from debug to info reduces noise in production. Several connection stability fixes address status broadcasting after tab creation and prevent stale relay callbacks.

For developers working with the Playwright adapter in @n8n/mcp-browser, the extension ID reference has been updated to the new Chrome Web Store identifier.
