Amazon Web Services (AWS) has introduced three significant upgrades to its Bedrock AgentCore Browser, a tool designed to let AI agents navigate the web more effectively within enterprise settings. Previously, these digital assistants operated from a "blank slate" every time they opened a window, losing login information and session history. The new browser profiles feature fixes this by saving cookies and local storage (persistent session data), allowing an agent to resume a task—like managing a shopping cart—exactly where it left off without needing to log in again.

Beyond maintaining session state, the update introduces proxy configuration, which is critical for security-conscious organizations. By routing traffic through specific proxy servers (intermediary servers that mask or manage internet connections), companies can ensure their agents use stable IP addresses and comply with strict internal network rules. This prevents agents from being blocked by security systems that require consistent identification.

The final addition is support for browser extensions, allowing developers to load standard Chrome-style add-ons into the agent’s environment. This capability lets agents use specialized tools for ad-blocking or custom content modification, making them more resilient when interacting with complex websites. These combined features transform AI agents from simple web-scrapers into sophisticated digital workers capable of handling multi-step, authenticated workflows in professional environments.
