Original Pull Request: https://github.com/badlogic/pi-skills/pull/10

State: open
Merged: No

Summary

Add getChromePath() function to automatically detect Chrome or Chromium installation path on different operating systems.

Changes

macOS: Uses existing hardcoded path (/Applications/Google Chrome.app/...)
Windows: Searches Program Files, Program Files (x86), and LocalAppData
Linux: Searches common paths including apt (/usr/bin/google-chrome), chromium, and snap installations

Motivation

The original script only worked on macOS due to the hardcoded Chrome path. This change enables the browser-tools skill to work out-of-the-box on Windows and Linux (including WSL).

Testing

Tested on:

Linux (WSL2 Ubuntu with /usr/bin/google-chrome)
macOS (should work, uses existing path)
Windows 11 (found at C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe)

Notes

Falls back to hoping the binary is in PATH if no known location is found.
