KingBrowser — Built-in Browser
KingBrowser is a full web browser built directly into KingDesk. It opens as an editor tab, right next to your code and documents — no switching windows.
Why a Browser Inside Your Editor?
Most browser-based development requires constant context switching: write code, switch to Chrome, check the result, switch back. KingBrowser removes that loop.
More importantly, it gives your AI a window to look through.
When KingBrowser is open, you can tell Claude Code "look at this screen" and it takes a screenshot, reads the content, and responds based on what it sees — not just what you describe.
When to Use KingBrowser
| Use case | What you do |
|---|---|
| Check your local app | Open localhost:3000 — see it next to your code |
| Show your AI a UI problem | Ask Claude Code to take a screenshot |
| Debug console errors | Ask your AI to run a check in the browser and read the result |
| Verify a fix worked | After editing code, refresh and confirm in the same window |
| Open Claude.ai | Use it as a quick reference browser without leaving KingDesk |
The AI and Browser Advantage
When your AI and your browser live in the same workspace, the feedback loop becomes tight:
- You ask Claude Code to fix a layout bug
- Claude Code edits the file
- Claude Code opens KingBrowser, navigates to your app, takes a screenshot
- Claude Code sees the result and confirms the fix — or keeps going
No manual refresh. No copy-pasting error messages. The AI handles the verify step on its own.
Multiple Tabs
KingBrowser supports multiple browser tabs, each as its own editor tab. You can have localhost:3000 open in one tab and localhost:8080 in another — your AI can work with either.
What KingBrowser Is Not
KingBrowser is not a replacement for your main browser.
- No bookmarks or browsing history
- No extensions
- Best suited for local development and AI-assisted verification
For general web browsing, use your regular browser.
