The just released version 0.58 should use the already open window unless you specify separate_session.

    I just tried it (0.58) without "tab" and without external launch of chrome and it now works (with and without headless)! Cookies and all! Thanks and GOOD WORK!!! Outstandingly useful module!

    Strangely, 0.58 displays on cpan, but when I install (using linux cpan) version 0.57 installs. Is there a lag somewhere?

    Does this mean I no longer need to specify the "tab" option? I do still need to spawn chrome from a shell, right?

      Perhaps the mirror you are using is not up to date:

      cpanm https://cpan.metacpan.org/authors/id/C/CO/CORION/WWW-Mechanize-C +hrome-0.58.tar.gz
        cpanm https://cpan.metacpan.org/authors/id/C/CO/CORION/WWW-Mechanize-Chrome-0.58.tar.gz

        Got it! Thanks!
