AnySoul Browser Extension
This is the support page for the AnySoul browser extension.
The extension connects AnySoul to the browser you already use every day. Once connected, a browser-enabled agent can inspect pages, open and manage tabs, and complete explicit browser tasks in your real browser session.
What It Does Today
Section titled “What It Does Today”- Connects the extension to your AnySoul account
- Shows executor connection status in the popup
- Reads current page state when you open the popup or run browser tasks
- Lets AnySoul open, switch, group, navigate, and close browser tabs
- Supports explicit browser actions such as click, type, scroll, wait, and extract
- Lets you stop active tasks, review recent task activity, and manage site adapters
- Adds extra confirmation for high-risk sites such as X, Reddit, and YouTube
What It Does Not Do
Section titled “What It Does Not Do”- It does not create a separate browser profile. It uses your current browser identity.
- It does not currently support desktop-only semantic browser actions such as
semantic_actorsemantic_extract. - It does not sell your browsing data or export cookies, passwords, or session tokens as product data.
1. Install and connect the extension
Section titled “1. Install and connect the extension”Install the AnySoul browser extension, open the popup, and sign in with your AnySoul account.
2. Enable browser runtime for your agent
Section titled “2. Enable browser runtime for your agent”In AnySoul, open Agent Settings -> Browser and enable browser runtime for the agent you want to use.
3. Enable browser tools in the current run mode
Section titled “3. Enable browser tools in the current run mode”Open the Run Mode editor and enable browser tools there as well.
Both levels matter:
- the agent must be allowed to use browser runtime
- the current run mode must expose browser tools
4. Start with explicit browser tasks
Section titled “4. Start with explicit browser tasks”The extension path works best for deterministic workflows such as:
- open a page
- read the page
- click or focus a target
- type or paste text
- wait for the next state
- extract the result
If you need desktop semantic browser actions, use the desktop app path described in the Browser Runtime guide instead.
Permissions At A Glance
Section titled “Permissions At A Glance”| Permission | Why it exists |
|---|---|
activeTab | Reads the focused page when you invoke the extension |
storage | Stores local auth state, device ID, managed tab state, adapter settings, and locale |
tabs | Opens, activates, navigates, reloads, and closes tabs used in browser tasks |
tabGroups | Groups AnySoul-managed tabs so task tabs stay visible and organized |
scripting | Reads page state and performs deterministic browser actions |
<all_urls> | Allows browser tasks to work on the websites you direct AnySoul to use |
Privacy And Data Handling
Section titled “Privacy And Data Handling”- The extension can process page URLs, titles, page text, DOM state, and task results when you use browser runtime features.
- The extension stores a small amount of local state in the browser extension storage area, such as connection state, device ID, managed tab records, adapter settings, and locale.
- Data needed to authenticate the extension and return browser task results is sent to AnySoul services.
- The canonical privacy policy for store listings is Extension Privacy Policy.
Troubleshooting
Section titled “Troubleshooting”Browser tools stay locked in AnySoul
Section titled “Browser tools stay locked in AnySoul”Check all of the following:
- the extension is connected and online
- browser runtime is enabled for the current agent
- browser tools are enabled in the current run mode
The popup says a site is not granted
Section titled “The popup says a site is not granted”Your browser may be limiting site access. Grant access for the current site from the popup or from your browser’s extension controls.
The extension is connected, but semantic browser actions are unavailable
Section titled “The extension is connected, but semantic browser actions are unavailable”That is expected. The extension runtime currently supports explicit browser actions only. Use the desktop app if you need semantic browser actions.
