 1. The extension calls `chrome.runtime.connectNative('com.browsercli.host')` on startup.
 2. The browser launches the native host Python process (registered in the OS).
-3. The native host opens a Unix socket at `/tmp/browser-cli.sock`.
+3. The native host opens a local IPC endpoint for the CLI.
 4. CLI commands connect to that socket, send a JSON command, and wait for the result.
 5. The native host relays the command to the extension via stdout, receives the result via stdin, and sends it back to the CLI.

 3. Write the native messaging manifest to your OS so the browser can find the host
 4. Copy the native host into an internal `libexec` directory and create a small wrapper outside your `PATH`
 
 After install, **fully restart your browser** (Quit and reopen — not just close the window). The extension will connect to the native host automatically on startup.
 
-Only the `browser-cli` command needs to be on your `PATH`. The browser launches the native host wrapper directly from its absolute path in the native messaging manifest, and that wrapper points to the internally installed `native_host.py` copy.

 ## Limitations
 
-- **Chrome internal pages** (`chrome://`, `brave://`, `about:`) cannot be scripted. DOM and extract commands only work on regular `http://` and `https://` pages.
+- **Browser internal pages** (`chrome://`, `brave://`, `edge://`, `about:`) cannot be scripted. DOM and extract commands only work on regular `http://` and `https://` pages.
 - **Multiple browser instances can be auto-distinguished, but generated aliases are temporary**. Unaliased browsers get UUID aliases from the native host, which avoids collisions but is less ergonomic than setting a stable alias with `browser-cli clients rename --browser <current-alias> <new-alias>`.
 - **Supported install targets are explicit, not “all Chromium browsers”**. The installer currently supports Chrome, Chromium, Brave, Edge, and Vivaldi. Other Chromium-based browsers may use different or shared native messaging manifest locations, so they need browser-specific verification before being added safely.
 - **Linux and macOS only** — Windows native messaging paths are not yet handled.
