 - Navigation history
 - Authentication state
 
-## Persistent Profiles
-
-By default, browser state (cookies, localStorage, login sessions) is ephemeral and lost when the browser closes. Use `--profile` to persist state across browser restarts:
-
-```bash
-# Use a persistent profile directory
-agent-browser --profile ~/.myapp-profile open myapp.com
-
-# Login once, then reuse the authenticated session
-agent-browser --profile ~/.myapp-profile open myapp.com/dashboard
-
-# Or via environment variable
-AGENT_BROWSER_PROFILE=~/.myapp-profile agent-browser open myapp.com
-```
-
-The profile directory stores:
-- Cookies and localStorage
-- IndexedDB data
-- Service workers
-- Browser cache
-- Login sessions
-
-**Tip**: Use different profile paths for different projects to keep their browser state isolated.
