Sharing a project I maintain. WebBrain puts an agent in the browser side panel: it can summarize/answer questions about the current page, extract tables and lists, fill forms, and navigate, using whichever model you configure (llama.cpp/Ollama/LM Studio locally, or any OpenAI-compatible API).
Some things that might interest people here:
- Plain vanilla JS, same codebase shipped for Chrome and Firefox
- Works with small local models: context trimming, a compact prompt mode, and a narrow tool set
- New MCP server, so Claude Code / Codex / OpenCode can use your real signed-in browser via the extension
Contributions welcome, especially site adapters and bug reports with a URL + the task that failed.
you can do the opensource thing and fork it to remove the features you dont like.
also i have not looked at the src myself but its main purpose is use with local llms which can be reduced to mean: all your generated and collected data stays on your device.
You’re not wrong, at all. But I’d rather not use a plugin that:
I really don’t like the idea of running some random program/plugin/whatever in a session where it can access all of my data.
