Here is a sample that use window.browser:

var browser = window.browser;

browser
    .init()
    .openWindow('https://github.com/yguan/browser') // The operation is added to the chain, but not executed.
    .done(); // Execute all operations in the chain

browser
    .getElements('.entry-title')
    .then(function (elements) {
        console.log(arguments);
    })
    .done();
