Native coding agents on real websites. Safari setup and privacy.
Effective date: September 9, 2026
AgentOnWeb is an open-source browser extension for Chrome, Firefox, and Safari that displays a locally running DeepSeek Harness (DSH) workspace over the website you are using. This policy covers the AgentOnWeb browser extensions and the Safari macOS containing app.
AgentOnWeb stores display preferences and a randomly generated connection credential in local browser extension storage. The credential lets your browser reconnect to a DSH instance you have approved. The companion DSH plugin stores connection credential hashes and a native workspace navigation bookmark on your computer.
The extension uses tab identifiers and website origins to manage its overlay and the local connection. For Safari, a temporary request-header rule is restricted to the relevant tab and the exact local DSH surface. This rule carries the local session credential and is removed when the tab closes, the surface changes, or the connection is revoked. Website scripts do not receive this credential.
AgentOnWeb does not operate an analytics service, advertising service, or developer-hosted data backend. The extension and containing app do not send your browsing history, website contents, prompts, or connection credentials to the AgentOnWeb developer. AgentOnWeb does not sell personal information or track users across apps and websites for advertising.
The workspace displayed inside the extension is provided by DSH. Anything you type, attach, or authorize in that workspace is handled by DSH and the model providers or plugins you configure. Those services may process information outside your computer under their own policies. AgentOnWeb does not promise that your AI conversations remain offline. The extension itself does not automatically scrape or transmit the underlying webpage to a model.
Website access allows AgentOnWeb to display its controls and workspace on the websites you permit in your browser. Storage keeps your preferences and local connection. Tab access coordinates the workspace across tabs. Cookie permissions support authenticated access to the local runtime; Safari additionally uses temporary request-header rules. Alarms allow the extension to check and restore the local connection. These permissions are not used for advertising or analytics.
You can limit website access or disable the extension in your browser’s extension settings. Revoke an authorized browser in DSH Settings → AgentOnWeb. Uninstalling the extension removes it from the browser; local DSH data remains managed by DSH. You can delete the AgentOnWeb plugin’s local configuration in ~/.config/agentonweb/deepseek-harness/ after revoking connections and stopping DSH.
