Chrome DevTools Connect for WebStorm | Browser Interaction
Blog post from JetBrains
WebStorm 2026.2.1 introduces Chrome DevTools Connect, a bundled Chrome DevTools CLI skill that allows AI agents to interact directly with Chrome from within the IDE. Following the earlier Figma Connect integration, which brings design specifications and tokens from Figma into WebStorm, the feature completes a design-to-code-to-browser workflow intended to reduce context switching. After a one-time package installation, agents can open pages, inspect rendered interfaces, review console logs and network activity, take screenshots, and interact with browser workflows to reproduce and verify fixes. The announcement illustrates its use with a checkout bug involving stale prices after cart changes, where an agent can independently navigate the required steps, identify a missing dependency, apply a correction, and confirm the result in the browser while the developer remains responsible for decisions rather than manually relaying browser observations.
