}

win-browser

Read bookmarks and browsing history from Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome, open URLs, get active tab titles, and list downloads. Uses built-in PowerShell + winsqlite3.dll for history access.

Works on Windows 10/11 with Edge and/or Chrome.

Detect Installed Browsers

powershell.exe -NoProfile -Command "
[Console]::OutputEncoding = [System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8
$browsers = @(
    @{ Name='Microsoft Edge'; Path='C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe'; Data="$env:LOCALAPPDATA\Microsoft\Edge\User Data\Default" },
    @{ Name='Google Chrome'; Path='C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe'; Data="$env:LOCALAPPDATA\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default" },
    @{ Name='Google Chrome (x86)'; Path='C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe'; Data="$env:LOCALAPPDATA\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default" },
    @{ Name='Firefox'; Path='C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe'; Data='' },
    @{ Name='Brave'; Path='C:\Program Files\BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser\Application\brave.exe'; Data="$env:LOCALAPPDATA\BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser\User Data\Default" }
)
foreach ($b in $browsers) {
    if (Test-Path $b.Path) {
        $ver = (Get-Item $b.Path).VersionInfo.ProductVersion
        $hasData = if ($b.Data -and (Test-Path $b.Data)) { 'data found' } else { 'no profile data' }
        Write-Host ('{0} v{1} ({2})' -f $b.Name, $ver, $hasData)
    }
}
$handler = (Get-ItemProperty 'HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Associations\UrlAssociations\https\UserChoice' -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue).ProgId
Write-Host ''
Write-Host ('Default HTTPS handler: {0}' -f $handler)
"

Open URL

Opens a URL in the default browser:

powershell.exe -NoProfile -Command "
Start-Process 'URL_HERE'
"

Replace URL_HERE with the full URL (e.g., https://example.com).

Open URL in Specific Browser

powershell.exe -NoProfile -Command "
Start-Process 'msedge' -ArgumentList 'URL_HERE'
"

Replace msedge with chrome, firefox, or brave for other browsers.

Get Active Tab Titles

Shows titles of all open browser windows (reflects the active tab in each window):

powershell.exe -NoProfile -Command "
[Console]::OutputEncoding = [System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8
Get-Process | Where-Object { $_.MainWindowTitle -and ($_.ProcessName -match 'msedge|chrome|firefox|brave') } | ForEach-Object {
    Write-Host ('{0}: {1}' -f $_.ProcessName, $_.MainWindowTitle)
}
"

Read Bookmarks (Edge)

powershell.exe -NoProfile -Command "
[Console]::OutputEncoding = [System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8
$path = \"$env:LOCALAPPDATA\Microsoft\Edge\User Data\Default\Bookmarks\"
if (!(Test-Path $path)) { Write-Host 'Edge bookmarks not found'; exit }
$json = Get-Content $path -Raw -Encoding UTF8 | ConvertFrom-Json

function Show-BM($node, $indent) {
    if ($node.type -eq 'url') {
        Write-Host ((' ' * $indent) + $node.name)
        Write-Host ((' ' * $indent) + '  ' + $node.url)
    } elseif ($node.type -eq 'folder' -and $node.children) {
        Write-Host ((' ' * $indent) + '[' + $node.name + ']')
        foreach ($child in $node.children) { Show-BM $child ($indent + 2) }
    }
}
foreach ($root in $json.roots.PSObject.Properties) {
    if ($root.Value.children -and $root.Value.children.Count -gt 0) {
        Write-Host ('[' + $root.Name + ']')
        foreach ($child in $root.Value.children) { Show-BM $child 2 }
    }
}
"

Read Bookmarks (Chrome)

powershell.exe -NoProfile -Command "
[Console]::OutputEncoding = [System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8
$path = \"$env:LOCALAPPDATA\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Bookmarks\"
if (!(Test-Path $path)) { Write-Host 'Chrome bookmarks not found'; exit }
$json = Get-Content $path -Raw -Encoding UTF8 | ConvertFrom-Json

function Show-BM($node, $indent) {
    if ($node.type -eq 'url') {
        Write-Host ((' ' * $indent) + $node.name)
        Write-Host ((' ' * $indent) + '  ' + $node.url)
    } elseif ($node.type -eq 'folder' -and $node.children) {
        Write-Host ((' ' * $indent) + '[' + $node.name + ']')
        foreach ($child in $node.children) { Show-BM $child ($indent + 2) }
    }
}
foreach ($root in $json.roots.PSObject.Properties) {
    if ($root.Value.children -and $root.Value.children.Count -gt 0) {
        Write-Host ('[' + $root.Name + ']')
        foreach ($child in $root.Value.children) { Show-BM $child 2 }
    }
}
"

Search Bookmarks

Search across both Edge and Chrome bookmarks by keyword:

powershell.exe -NoProfile -Command "
[Console]::OutputEncoding = [System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8
$query = 'SEARCH_TERM'
$paths = @(
    @{ Browser='Edge'; Path=\"$env:LOCALAPPDATA\Microsoft\Edge\User Data\Default\Bookmarks\" },
    @{ Browser='Chrome'; Path=\"$env:LOCALAPPDATA\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Bookmarks\" }
)

function Search-BM($node, $q) {
    $results = @()
    if ($node.type -eq 'url') {
        if ($node.name -match $q -or $node.url -match $q) {
            $results += @{ name=$node.name; url=$node.url }
        }
    } elseif ($node.children) {
        foreach ($child in $node.children) { $results += Search-BM $child $q }
    }
    return $results
}

foreach ($p in $paths) {
    if (!(Test-Path $p.Path)) { continue }
    $json = Get-Content $p.Path -Raw -Encoding UTF8 | ConvertFrom-Json
    $found = @()
    foreach ($root in $json.roots.PSObject.Properties) {
        $found += Search-BM $root.Value $query
    }
    if ($found.Count -gt 0) {
        Write-Host ('{0}: {1} match(es)' -f $p.Browser, $found.Count)
        foreach ($r in $found) {
            Write-Host ('  ' + $r.name)
            Write-Host ('    ' + $r.url)
        }
    }
}
"

Replace SEARCH_TERM with your search keyword (case-insensitive regex).

Read Recent History (Edge)

Reads the last N visited URLs from Edge history. Copies the database first (Edge locks it while running).

To use this command, save the following to a .ps1 file and execute with powershell.exe -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File path\to\script.ps1, or run inline if no != characters cause issues.

powershell.exe -NoProfile -Command "
[Console]::OutputEncoding = [System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8

Replace NUM_RESULTS with how many results to show (e.g., 20).

  • Timestamps are Chrome/Edge format: microseconds since 1601-01-01 UTC.
  • The database is copied to %TEMP% first to avoid file locking issues.

Common Workflows

Look up a previously visited page

1. win-browser: search history for keyword
2. Use the URL from results

Find a bookmarked resource

1. win-browser: search bookmarks for keyword
2. Open the URL or use it in workflow

Check what user was browsing

1. win-browser: read recent history (last 20)
2. Summarize browsing patterns

Open a link and monitor

1. win-browser: open URL in default browser
2. win-browser: get active tab titles (verify it loaded)

Notes

  • History database locking: Edge/Chrome lock their History database while running. All history commands copy the DB to %TEMP% first, so they work while the browser is open.
  • Timestamps: Chrome/Edge use WebKit timestamps — microseconds since 1601-01-01 UTC. Converted via [DateTime]::new(1601,1,1).AddTicks(ts * 10).
  • Bookmarks: Stored as JSON at %LOCALAPPDATA%\{Browser}\User Data\Default\Bookmarks. No locking issues — safe to read directly.
  • Downloads: Stored in the same History SQLite database, in the downloads table.
  • Multiple profiles: Commands read from the Default profile. For other profiles, change Default to Profile 1, Profile 2, etc. in the paths.
  • Firefox: Uses a different database format (places.sqlite). Not currently supported — Edge and Chrome cover most Windows users.
  • Privacy: All data is read locally. Nothing is sent anywhere.
  • winsqlite3.dll: Ships with Windows 10 1803+. Zero external dependencies for history access.
