Fisfzy/dsh-ego-browser
Drive a real Chrome/Chromium browser from DeepSeek Harness with 35 structured tools for navigation, snapshots, clicks, forms, JavaScript/CDP, screenshots, downloads and tabs; a live sidebar mirrors the page and accepts mouse and keyboard input. It ships a managed CDP runtime, keeps login state across calls, and can import cookies from your everyday Chrome through a companion extension.
Install
via npm
Resolves a published tarball rather than cloning the repository, and installs without any extra setup. Swap `web` for your profile name if you run another one.
via GitHub · npm package
Installing from GitHub runs the project's build script, which pnpm blocks until you allowlist it — run the command once and pnpm prints the exact key to add under `allowBuilds` in ~/.dsh/profiles/web/pnpm-workspace.yaml.
The desktop app keeps its own profile, desktop, and only the dsh command it ships may change it — the npm-installed dsh refuses that profile. Install the command from the app menu (Manage dsh Command…), open Desktop once, quit it fully, run the line below, then reopen Desktop.

Our install check ran in a web profile on npm's dsh, not in the desktop app.

For maintainers: the badge serves this listing's latest sandbox verdict, so a re-run updates it on its own — and it links readers to the full result here.
Due diligence
Security
No build script was blocked in our run.
Source: our sandbox install on DeepSeek Harness 0.2.2-rc.1, 8d ago.
package.json declares no preinstall, install or postinstall script.
Source: package.json on GitHub, read at our last sync. prepare is not recorded; it runs only on a GitHub install, and shows up under build scripts when pnpm blocks it.
shell commands (bash, exec, spawn …)
Source: a keyword match on the README — a hint about what the plugin touches, not an analysis of its code.
Not an audit. These are the record of one install and two text scans; nobody has read this plugin's code on your behalf. Plugins run with your agent's permissions.
What it is — DeepSeek Harness integrates this plugin to drive real Chrome browser with real-time sidebar observation.
Who it is for — When the DeepSeek Harness agent needs to perform webpage navigation and form operations, this plugin provides real-time browser observation. If the project does not use DSH desktop, users need not install it because it relies on DSH native right sidebar for panel support.
Watch out — Sandbox testing passed: installed in a new profile and registered into the profile by harness. No obvious pitfalls found.
The verdict — I would install it because it supports importing login states from everyday Chrome and keeping them across calls.
Generated by grok-4.6, and a starting point rather than a verdict. Where it says a plugin installs or does not, that is from a real run in a clean profile — everything else is read off the repository. Trust the source over this.
dsh-ego-browser is a DeepSeek Harness plugin that drives a real Chrome or Chromium browser through 35 structured ego_* tools. DeepSeek Harness starts the bundled ego-lite runtime through a subprocess, which exposes browser control through CDP. The tools cover navigation, semantic snapshots, clicks, forms, JavaScript/CDP calls, screenshots, downloads and tab management. A live sidebar receives the browser view through an SSE stream and sends mouse and keyboard input back to the same browser; a pop-out window can replace a headless session while retaining its tabs.
The browser uses a persistent profile, so login state can survive calls and restarts. ego_login_import can copy cookies for selected domains from Chrome, Edge or Brave. The recommended extension path bridges to an open everyday Chrome; the fallback reads a temporary copy of Local State and the Cookies database. Cookie values are not written to logs or tool output. The optional “常驻执行进程” setting reuses one ego-browser --serve process, with a default idle stop time of 30 minutes.
This suits agents that need visible, interruptible browser work rather than a black-box script. It is a poor fit where a browser is unnecessary, where a host cannot provide Node.js 22 and a compatible DeepSeek Harness version, or where persistent browser profiles and imported login cookies are unacceptable. The terminal surface means the plugin starts a managed browser process and accesses browser profile data with the agent’s available permissions.
DeepSeek Harness loads dsh-ego-browser in a profile and provides the browser runtime from the package’s runtime/ directory. The package includes a --no-sandbox wrapper for root, Docker and display-less environments. The optional “常驻执行进程” setting keeps one ego-browser --serve process alive; it is off by default, and its idle timeout defaults to 30 minutes. egoCliArgs and chromeArgs are available as gateway settings for extra runtime and Chrome arguments.
DeepSeek Harness registers 35 structured ego_* tools. They cover navigation, semantic page snapshots, clicks, form input, JavaScript and CDP operations, screenshots, downloads and tab management. Named tools documented by the README include ego_login_import, ego_download, ego_captcha, ego_page_info, ego_auth_flush and ego_doctor. The first browser-tool call can open the Agent Browser tab in the native DeepSeek Harness sidebar, or in dsh-better-sidebar when the native sidebar is unavailable.
ego_login_import accepts a cookie source and domain selection. With source: "extension", the companion extension pairs through a six-digit code and exports cookies from the current site through a local bridge. The file is distributed in extension/ and as extension.zip. The fallback reads Local State and the Cookies database into a temporary directory without opening or modifying the real profile.
DeepSeek Harness must be version 0.1.2-rc.1 or newer; the README reports verification through 0.1.7, including the relevant 0.2.0-rc.x and 0.2.1-rc.2 desktop paths. Node.js 22 or newer is required. Chrome, Edge and Brave are detected automatically. dsh-better-sidebar is optional, with 0.12.2 as the minimum for its documented external-link handling and 0.17.1 recommended.
On Windows, Chrome or Edge 127+ uses application-bound encryption, so profile-copy login import is rejected or returns zero cookies. Use the extension bridge instead. EGO_LINUX_LOGIN_IMPORT_FORCE=1 is only a debugging switch for older browsers. Imported cookies are a one-time snapshot, although they remain available when the browser profile is persisted. A browser path change takes effect after a cold start. Without either supported sidebar, the browser still operates but no sidebar panel is shown.
