One titlebar button, next to HUD mode, that opens and hides the built-in browser: the same action as Ctrl+Shift+L. Label follows the active UI language. Front-end only: no agent calls, no network, no API keys.

## Good to know before installing

Works by pressing the browser shortcut (Ctrl/⌘+Shift+L); breaks if the user rebinds it.

From the plugin's catalog listing.

## How to install

1. Install it. Hermes asks for any API keys it needs, then asks whether to turn it on.

```bash
hermes plugins install browser-toggle
```

2. Said no? Turn it on later:

```bash
hermes plugins enable browser-toggle
```

3. Restart Hermes so it loads the plugin.

Some plugins also need a sign-in or settings: see the official page. Memory plugins ask whether to become your memory provider instead. Steps follow the official plugins guide: https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/user-guide/features/plugins
