***
## ๐ก Design rationale
### Similar to chrome to reduce learning curve
- Although HuBrowser is technically an operating system with a different architecture from Chrome, mimicking Chrome's UI helps users get started quickly.
### Top bar
#### Why not put the location bar at the bottom?
- Placing the location bar at the bottom would cause the bottom bar to render twice every time the keyboard pops up, negating render cache benefits.
- A long location bar is mainly for display and would waste precious bottom screen space better used for user actions.
- Top buttons are harder to press on small screens; the bottom action area is better suited for finger operation.
#### Why not more buttons?
- A long location bar is important for displaying URLs and search queries.
- Helps prevent fraud by showing the full domain, avoiding misleading URLs where `hubrowser.com.hugle.com` might appear as `hubrowser.com`.
#### Why a static tab switch icon?
- A static icon allows HuBrowser to cache the entire top bar for better performance.
- Tab counts can add unnecessary mental pressure โ HuBrowser's desktop-grade memory management allows as many tabs as desired, with no need to worry.
- The number of tabs can be gauged roughly by looking at the tab bar or exactly by tapping the tab switch.
### Bottom bar
- The bottom bar is ideal for actions. ๐
- Since the bottom bar needs to re-render when the keyboard pops up, it's better to place frequently changing elements here. ๐
#### Parrot assistant button
- Symmetrical counterpart to the menu button in UI position and functionality:
- The menu button offers layered, predefined options following industry conventions.
- The Parrot Assistant provides a dynamic and personalized experience: control media playback, compare prices when shopping, invoke page-aware AI, etc.
### Mobile back button
- Why does HuBrowser's back button behave differently from other apps?
- In other apps, the back button sometimes goes back a page, sometimes closes the current page, and sometimes closes the entire app โ this inconsistency can confuse users.
- The back button is large and at the bottom, easy to accidentally press โ if you're watching a video, filling out a form, making a payment, or playing a game and accidentally hit it, having to start over can be very frustrating ๐.
- Going back a page can be done via the left-swipe gesture, which is just as convenient and won't cause accidental navigation.
### Wrap up
- Both the top and bottom bars are designed as one bar with three buttons, providing symmetry and consistency.
- Space is efficiently utilized without making buttons feel cramped.
- It's a perfect balance! ๐

# HuBrowser:
Operating System for AI Era
## Automates all 4 app categories
HuBrowser exclusively covers all 4 major software forms โ a versatile, AI-native operating system built for universal automation.
Unique edge
### Mobile app
Currently supports Android apps only. HuBrowser's unique browser architecture grants deep system access, so you can freely automate native mobile apps.
### Desktop app
Desktop app automation is relatively mature. As a full operating system, HuBrowser's automation is more stable, faster, and more token-efficient.
Unique edge
### Browser extension
Browser extensions are supported natively in HuBrowser. Even on mobile, you can freely install and wire them into your automation workflows.
### Webpage
As AI-native browser, HuBrowser has fewer limits, faster execution, and lower cost compared to browsers like Atlas and Comet. Mobile webpage automation is also a unique advantage.
[hubrowser.com/invest](https://hubrowser.com/invest)
HuBrowser was founded in the United States in 2023. Centered on an AI-native browser, it enables fast, private, unrestricted universal automation in pursuit of a more elegant digital life.
Completely different from other automation solutions, HuBrowser's system-level ChromeOS + Android hybrid architecture allows it to automate native apps, web pages, and browser extensions simultaneously across desktop and mobile. Because it does not use legacy protocols, HuBrowser's native automation has inherent resistance to bot detection, can reduce cost and token consumption to one-tenth, and increases speed by more than 2x.
It is led by Singapore programming champion Yitao Hu. The AI coding company he previously led, MutableAI, was acquired by Google. We are bringing more than 10 years of deep browser systems R&D and generative AI expertise fully into this venture.
## Competitive Advantages
- Decades of innovation โ Building a full OS demands vision, inspiration, and years of commitment โ impossible to replicate quickly.
- Advanced architecture โ With 40 million lines of code, HuBrowser is a complete OS, like ChromeOS but faster, stronger and more open.
- Incumbents' structural legacy burden โ Chrome, Edge, and others serve billions of users โ any deep architectural change touches their core ad revenue, and the whole thing moves together.

# AI Browsers After Atlas - The Landscape
On Oct 21, OpenAI launched Atlas browser, reigniting a category that has been relatively quiet since Chrome's debut.
I'm Yitao Hu, founder of HuBrowser and a former Google engineer, with 10+ years building private browser. We shipped the Android AI Browser in 2024. Below is a concise, practitioner's guide to what an AI browser is, different approaches, and how the market is shaping up.
## What is an AI browser?
- Automated interaction: executes clicks, fills forms, and navigates web/apps from intent.
- Content processing: summarizes pages, answers questions, and generates text.
Why now? Three key reasons:
- Entry advantage: closer to the user, smoother monetization.
- Context awareness: behavior, history, goals โ richer than chat-only agents.
- Data pipeline: AI training needs data. Public data has plateaued; private user context is the next frontier.
Who's building:
- Giants: Chrome, Edge, OpenAI Atlas, Perplexity Comet
- Startups: \~7โ8 publicly launched products (including us)
- Tools capable of AI Q\&A: dozens
## Five technical paths
All based on Chromium, but in different ways. Application-layer products can land quickly, but only system-level integration can deliver a truly native AI browser:
- CDP automation scripts โ OpenAI Operator, Browser Use, Browserbase
- Pros: fast to prototype
- Cons: easy to flag, inefficient, shallow integration
- Prebuilt Chromium (Electron/Tauri) โ Fellou, Arc
- Pros: quick delivery
- Cons: incomplete browser features; constrained UX
- Browser extensions โ HuBrowser Extension
- Pros: lightweight, privacy-transparent
- Cons: host-dependent; limited speed/automation
- Enhanced Chromium โ Chrome, Edge, Atlas, Comet
- Pros: balanced approach
- Cons: without core tweaks, little edge over extensions
- Enhanced ChromiumOS โ HuBrowser
- Pros: system-level integration, cross-platform consistency, efficient and abuse-resistant
- Cons: extremely hard; requires long-term kernel expertise
Structural issues with shallow wrappers:
- Login and risk controls: automation patterns trigger re-verifications; fragmented UX. In practice, agents often need to re-login, breaking flow โ hard to become a daily tool.
- Mobile limits: without system hooks, mobile automation is unstable โ hence few mobile AI browsers.
- Speed/accuracy: lacking structured data leads to "slow ops." Simple forms: CDP 15โ30s vs. system-level 3โ5s.
- Cost: redundant context/trial steps burn tokens (often tens of thousands per task); scales poorly.
## Why browser engine work is hard
Fewer than \~10k engineers have worked in the browser core โ typically within 1โ2 modules. Architecture change demands broad, deep expertise. Even Google and Microsoft have few kernel-level breakthroughs over a decade. Even as OpenAI hires top Chrome architects, Atlas and Comet today appear mostly focused on sidebar/assistant layers. This unique difficulty gives us the confidence to compete with the giants as a small team.
## Our approach
Testing in 2023 showed "AI clicking" helps for repetitive work, but the app-layer innovation hits a ceiling (weak anti-abuse, slower, costly). We're building from the system core layer for AI use.
Why we launched Android first?
- Technical high ground: an Android browser can be easily compiled to other platforms; but not the other way around. The reverse loses \~90% code/features.
- System connectivity: C++ threads through Android to automate web apps, native apps, extensions, and scripts in concert.
- Market: Android leads globally, enough to make a profit.
Desktop and iOS
- Desktop: we ship an open-source HuBrowser Extension โ transparent code/requests; no personal data collection; plug in your own models for local workflows.
- iOS: closed ecosystem and sensitive automation APIs raise policy risk; we're deferring.
## Business landscape
Primary monetization: subscriptions + ads; secondary: data services.
- Giants bundle AI into existing products to spread costs.
- Startups win via focused use cases or deeper technical differentiation.
- Segments: desktop/mobile/cloud; ToC/ToB/ToDev; plus model/hardware integrations.
- Dynamics: desktop is most crowded; mobile is relatively less contested due to high technical barriers.
- Opportunity: >5B users; even 5โ10% AI share is substantial. The key is crossing "usable" โ "habit-forming."
## Privacy and control
Watch for geo limits, opaque filtering of "sensitive" requests, bundling disguised as "AI recommendations," and data uploads "for better UX."
Core tensions: agent risk transparency; confirmation bounds for pay/delete/post; privacy vs. capability; data-driven business vs. long-term trust; accountability as AI decisions grow.
## Closing thoughts
The breakpoint isn't a checklist of features; it's system-level fusion that makes AI indispensable day to day. That requires time, kernel depth, and relentless UX focus.
If this resonates, please like, comment, and share.

# ๐ About HuBrowser
Welcome! Hereโs a quick look at what makes **HuBrowser** unique and the story behind its design.
## Meaning behind the name
- **"Hu"** is my surnameโshort, simple, and personal.
- It represents years of dedication to building a browser that values **quality**, **privacy**, and **zero tracking**.
- The name puts a real person behind the product, not a faceless corporation.
> **Fun facts:**
>
> - 1 in 400 people globally have the surname "Hu".
> - The **HuBrowser** ecosystem draws inspiration from mahjong, where "Hu" means winning. Our logos reflect this theme.
## Story behind the logo and icons
The **HuBrowser** logo stands out with its hand-drawn, imperfect styleโby design:
- It combines **HuOS** and our signature orange, hinting at our vision for **HuOS-powered hardware**.
- The scribble look is a nod to **HuBrowserโs** origins as a middle-school dream, and a tribute to the era when logos were more artistic and personal.
- It embraces imperfection and the human touch, reflecting our values.
### Showcasing HuBrowser's graphics rendering
- Unlike other apps with simple, monotone buttons, **HuBrowser** can render a 3D, colorful **parrot assistant** icon (bottom right) with **native code** in the browser menu. (The icon is drawn directly by the graphics engine, not just an image!)
- Think of the precision engraving of the **Rolex crown** or the intricate detailing of the **Hermรจs carriage**โshowcasing premium techniques.
- 
**HuBrowser Logo** vs. **HuOS Logo**
## Mission
Info
Elegant digital life.
***
Thank you for exploring **HuBrowser**. We invite you to experience a browser where **privacy**, **creativity**, and **individuality** come together.

# ๐ง Custom API (optional)
**๐ก Recommended for most users:** Use [HuBrowser membership](/guide/basics/membership.md) for the best experience - faster, more reliable, and better value!
**Advanced option:** For users who need maximum control, compliance requirements, or want to experiment, you can configure HuBrowser Extension to use your own custom AI API.
Click the **"API Config"** button at the top of the extension to configure your own API keys.
## ๐ฏ Why use your own API?
### โ
**Full control**
Use any AI model provider - ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, or any OpenAI-compatible API.
### ๐ **Maximum privacy**
Run entirely locally on-device with edge AI models - no internet connection required. You can inspect the network traffic to confirm requests go directly to your chosen provider with **no requests to our servers**.
### ๐ฐ **Cost transparency**
- **Higher cost** than HuBrowser membership due to our custom optimizations and bulk pricing agreements
- **Still cheaper** than using the API with other agentic AI solutions thanks to our efficiency optimizations
- **Full visibility** into your API usage and costs
### ๐งช **Experimentation & comparison**
Objectively compare different AI models, providers, and agent solutions for your specific use cases.
## ๐ Supported configurations
You can use any of these AI providers:
- **OpenAI API** - GPT-4, GPT-4o, GPT-3.5, GPT-4o-mini
- **Anthropic Claude API** - Claude 3.5 Sonnet, Claude 3 Opus, Claude 3 Haiku
- **Google Gemini API** - Gemini Pro, Gemini Ultra
- **DeepSeek API** - DeepSeek Chat, DeepSeek Coder
- **Any OpenAI-compatible API endpoint** - Groq, Together AI, Perplexity, etc.
- **Local AI models** - Ollama, LM Studio, Jan, etc.
## ๐จ How to configure
### Step 1: get your API key
Obtain an API key from your chosen provider:
- **OpenAI**: [platform.openai.com](https://platform.openai.com/api-keys)
- **Anthropic**: [console.anthropic.com](https://console.anthropic.com/)
- **Google**: [aistudio.google.com](https://aistudio.google.com/app/api-keys)
- **DeepSeek**: [platform.deepseek.com](https://platform.deepseek.com/)
- Any other provider's API key page
### Step 2: open API config
1. Click the **HuBrowser Extension** icon in your browser toolbar
2. Click the **"API Config"** button at the top
3. Enter your API configuration
### Step 3: enter your settings
Fill in the required fields:
- **API Endpoint** - The base URL for the API (e.g., `https://api.openai.com/v1`)
- **API Key** - Your personal API key
- **Model Name** - The specific model to use
### Step 4: save and test
Click **Save** and try a command to verify everything works!
## ๐ก Best practices
### Choose the newer models
- **Complex tasks** (automation, coding) โ Use larger models like GPT-5 or Claude Sonnet
- **Privacy-critical** โ Use local models with Ollama
### Monitor your usage
Keep track of API costs in your provider's dashboard. Our optimizations help reduce token usage, but costs can add up with frequent use.
### Rate limits
Be aware of your API provider's rate limits. If you hit limits, consider:
- Switching to HuBrowser membership (we have higher limits)
- Upgrading your API tier
- Spacing out commands
## ๐ Privacy & security
### Your data stays private
When using your own API:
- Requests go **directly** to your configured endpoint
- **No data** is sent to HuBrowser servers
- You can verify this by monitoring network traffic
### Verifiable security
Our extension is open source - you can:
- Review the code on [GitHub](https://github.com/HuBrowser/HuBrowser-extension)
- Inspect network requests in browser DevTools
- Confirm no unexpected data transmission
### Data residency compliance
Perfect for users who need to comply with:
- GDPR requirements
- Corporate data policies
- Government regulations
- Industry-specific compliance
## ๐ Comparison: custom API vs HuBrowser membership
| Feature | Custom API | HuBrowser Membership |
| ---------------- | ------------------------- | --------------------------- |
| **Privacy** | ๐ข Maximum (local/direct) | ๐ก Standard (encrypted) |
| **Speed** | ๐ก Depends on provider | ๐ข Optimized infrastructure |
| **Cost** | ๐ก Pay per token | ๐ข Fixed monthly price |
| **Setup** | ๐ก Manual configuration | ๐ข Instant, no setup |
| **Model Choice** | ๐ข Any model | ๐ก Curated selection |
| **Support** | ๐ก Self-service | ๐ข Priority support |
## โ Troubleshooting
### "Invalid API key" error
- Double-check your API key is copied correctly
- Verify the key is active in your provider's dashboard
- Make sure you have billing enabled (for paid APIs)
### "Model not found" error
- Confirm the model name matches exactly (case-sensitive)
- Check your API tier has access to that model
- For local models, ensure the model is pulled (`ollama list`)
### Slow response times
- Check your internet connection (for cloud APIs)
- Try a smaller/faster model
- For local models, ensure sufficient RAM available
### Connection timeout
- Verify the API endpoint URL is correct
- Check firewall settings aren't blocking requests
- For Ollama, ensure it's running (`ollama serve`)
## ๐ค Need help?

# ๐ฃ๏ธ AI assistant and voice commands
This part is all about doing something with fewer taps. When you already know what you want, a short voice or typed command is often faster than hunting through menus.
## ๐ช How to open it
- Tap the AI assistant button in the side panel
- Or use assistant-related flows from the keyboard and side-panel voice input entry points
## โจ What people use it for most
- **Opening something right away**: Launch an app without searching your home screen
- **Pulling text from another app**: Copy visible text when normal selection is awkward or blocked
- **Getting a quick draft**: Create a reply you can edit before sending
- **Triggering common phone actions**: Search, call, message, or set a reminder faster
## ๐ง Common commands
### ๐ฑ Launch apps
Say `open [app name]` to instantly launch an installed app.
Examples:
- Open Chrome
- Open Gmail
- Open Settings
- Open Maps
Common aliases can still work, so you usually do not need to say the exact app name perfectly.
### ๐ Select text
Say `select text` to highlight visible text on the current screen.
- Tap highlighted text to copy it
- Useful for grabbing labels, paragraphs, or form content from other apps
- Especially useful when normal text selection is awkward or unavailable
### ๐ฌ Generate reply
Let AI draft a response based on the current conversation or selected text.
- Works in messaging apps for quick replies
- Inserts the reply into the input field and lets you review it before sending
- Saves time when you want a starting point instead of typing from scratch
## ๐งฐ More things it can do
Depending on your setup, Parrot Assistant can also help with tasks like:
- Open app
- Select text
- Scan code
- Web search
- Open URL
- Search maps
- Create note
- Set alarm
- Set timer
- Make call
- Send SMS
- Create calendar event
- Compose reply
## ๐ฏ How to get better results
- Keep commands short and clear
- Lead with the action, then the object
- Ask for one thing at a time
- Use the assistant for quick actions, and use automations for repeated routines
## โ๏ธ Settings you can control
- Enable or disable command types
- Choose the Chinese transcription variant
- Configure custom app-name mappings
- Pick default apps for supported tool types
- Import or export settings as JSON

# ๐ค Automation
If you keep doing the same little things on your phone, automation can take a lot of that repetition away. Start with a template, then tweak it when you know what you want.
## โจ The easiest way to start
- Pre-built templates you can enable immediately
- Customize templates to fit your habits
- A good fit when you want value quickly without building every rule from scratch
## ๐ช Common triggers

- Time-based schedules
- Volume-button double-click detection
- Ringer mode changes
- Bluetooth connected or disconnected
- Network connected or disconnected
- App launch
- Another automation finishing first
## โถ๏ธ What a rule can do
- Skip forward in media
- Rewind in media
- Send a local notification
- Launch an app
- Open app notification settings
- Trigger an event for chaining rules
## ๐งฉ Useful examples
### ๐ง Headphone volume controls
- Double-click volume up on earphones: Skip ahead 30 seconds
- Double-click volume down on earphones: Rewind 10 seconds
- Only works when headphones are detected
- Automatically restores the original media volume after the seek action
### ๐ Notification automation
- Prioritize alerts from important contacts
- Suppress promotional notifications during work hours
- Build rules around recurring notification patterns you search for often
### ๐

# ๐ฆ Parrot Assistant (Android)
Tired of typing, filling out forms, or staring at a chat with no idea what to say? Parrot Assistant helps you write, edit, and respond faster on your Android phone.
Most people start with these two everyday tools:
- An AI keyboard for voice typing, quick edits, symbols, and emoji in any text field
- A swipe-out side panel for shortcuts you can open from almost any screen
It also brings smart notifications, simple automation, and assistant actions for things like opening apps, selecting visible text, scanning codes, filling forms, or drafting replies.
:::tip โจ Five useful Android tools in one app
1. **Side Panel**: Swipe in from the edge to open your most useful tools
2. **AI Keyboard**: Speak, edit, delete words, move the cursor, and type emoji faster
3. **Smart Notifications**: Search old notifications and find important alerts again
4. **Automation**: Turn repeated phone tasks into simple rules
5. **AI Commands**: Draft replies, fill forms, open apps, and trigger quick actions
**Voice features require [HuBrowser Membership](/guide/basics/membership.md).**

## ๐ฌ Demo videos
Side panel demo
Voice input demo
Accessibility setup
Automation demo
If you want a quick feel for how the app works, start with these short videos.
## ๐ Start with the home screen
The home screen pulls the main areas together, so it is the best place to understand how everything connects before you dive into each feature.
## ๐ Who it is good for
- **People who reply to lots of messages**: Voice typing and editing tools are much easier here
- **People who lose notifications**: You can search them again later
- **People who want fewer taps**: The side panel and voice commands help a lot
- **People who repeat the same tasks**: Automation removes small bits of friction every day
## ๐ Privacy and permissions
- Recording only starts when you explicitly tap voice input
- Permissions are feature-based: keyboard for typing, accessibility for side panel actions, camera for scanning, notification access for inbox and automation
- Most management features stay on-device, including notification review and local configuration
- The app explains setup requirements inside each feature area instead of hiding them
The settings area is where you manage the side panel, AI keyboard, and the permissions they need.
## ๐ค Voice features and membership
Voice transcription is tied to [HuBrowser Membership](/guide/basics/membership.md):
- Unregistered users get a limited free allowance
- Members get 20 transcriptions per 24 hours
- Voice history and remaining quota are visible from the keyboard settings flow
## ๐งญ What to read first

# โจ๏ธ AI Voice Keyboard
If you write a lot on your phone, fix long messages, or like dictating and then cleaning things up, this keyboard feels much better than the default one.
## โจ What makes it better than a normal keyboard
- **Works in normal Android text fields**: Use it as your daily keyboard, not just for a single app
- **Voice input**: Record, transcribe, and insert text directly into the current editor
- **Cursor tools**: Move by character, word, or line without leaving the keyboard
- **Faster deletion**: Delete characters normally or swipe to remove full words
- **Gesture typing**: Slide across letters when that is faster than tapping
- **Emoji and symbol shortcuts**: Keep common characters and reactions close at hand
## ๐๏ธ The most useful part is voice input
- Tap the microphone icon in the top-right corner to start recording
- Speak naturally and the keyboard inserts the final transcript automatically
- Recording only starts when you actively tap the microphone
### ๐ถ Voice input states
- **Listening**: Recording in progress, shows audio waveform
- **Processing**: Uploading and transcribing your audio
- **Inserting**: Writing results into the focused text field
- **Complete**: Text successfully inserted
- **Error**: Transcription failed and an error message appears
### โฑ๏ธ Recording and submission
- Single recordings auto-submit after roughly 20 seconds
- Longer pauses can auto-end the recording, and you can adjust that in settings
- Tap the Done button to submit early
## โ๏ธ It is also great for editing
### โ๏ธ Cursor control
- **Arrow keys**: Precise character-by-character movement
- **Word jump**: Quickly move between words
- **Line start/end**: Jump to beginning or end of line
- **Shift + arrows**: Select text while moving
### ๐งน Smart deletion
- **Backspace**: Delete one character
- **Swipe left on backspace**: Delete entire word
- **Clear button**: Wipe the entire input field
### ๐ฃ Quick symbol input
Long-press number keys for common symbols:
- 1 โ !
- 2 โ @
- 3 โ #
- 4 โ $
- 5 โ %
- 6 โ ^
- 7 โ &
- 8 โ \*
- 9 โ (
- 0 โ )
### ๐ Emoji keyboard
- Browse emojis by category
- Recent emojis save for quick reuse
## ๐ฑ It gets even better on bigger screens
The keyboard is not limited to one layout. On large phones and tablets, split layouts are especially helpful because they keep the keys closer to both thumbs.
## ๐ซ Voice quota
- **Unregistered users**: Limited free transcriptions per day
- **HuBrowser members**: 20 transcriptions per day
- Each voice input costs 1 point
- Remaining quota, refresh timing, and recent voice history are visible in settings
## ๐ How to turn it on
1. Open system Settings โ Language & Input
2. Enable Parrot Keyboard
3. Switch to Parrot Keyboard in any text field
## ๐ก When it is most useful
- Long messages that would be slow to thumb-type
- Quick fixes when you need cursor movement and word deletion
- Large phones or tablets where split layouts feel more comfortable
- Situations where you want voice typing, then immediate manual cleanup in the same keyboard
Microphone permission is only needed when you actually use voice input.

# ๐ Notifications
If you ever think โwhere did that notification go?โ, this feature is for you. Even after a notification is dismissed, you can come back later and search by app, tag, or date.
## โจ What it helps with
- **Text search**: Find shipping updates, payment alerts, or a phrase from a past message
- **Filter chips**: Narrow the list by app, tag, and date
- **Review later**: Keep a usable inbox-style view after the original notification moment has passed
- **Works well with automation**: Turn repeated notification patterns into rules later
## ๐ Common situations
### ๐ฆ Shipping and parcel tracking
- Search by keywords such as `tracking`, `delivery`, or `shipment`
- Review earlier messages even after the shipment app has already rotated them out of the shade
### ๐ณ Payment and transaction alerts
- Find terms such as `transfer`, `payment`, or `subscription`
- Filter by app when multiple financial tools are involved
### ๐ฌ Work and team notifications
- Keep team apps visible while deprioritizing noisier sources
- Revisit what arrived during a meeting instead of checking every banner live
## ๐๏ธ Helpful for day-to-day cleanup
- **Live search**: Find specific messages or topics in your history
- **App and date filters**: Slice the inbox down to a manageable subset
- **Tags and groups**: Organize recurring notifications into more useful buckets
- **Automation handoff**: Build rules around recurring notification patterns
## ๐ You can also spot patterns
When you use the notification inbox regularly, Parrot can also help you see which apps generate the most noise and which notification sources dominate your day.
## ๐ Privacy
- Notification review and search stay local to the device
- Nothing about this inbox requires a cloud sync layer
- You still control notification-access permission at the Android system level

# ๐ฏ Side Panel
The side panel is useful for one simple reason: you can pull out your most-used tools without leaving the app you are already in.
## ๐ How to use
1. Swipe inward from the configured screen edge
2. Hover over a button in the grid
3. Release to trigger the selected action
## โจ Why people like it
- **Smart anti-accidental touch**: Only triggers when swiping inward from the edge
- **One-hand operation**: Swipe, hover, release
- **Auto-hide**: Automatically hides after a short idle period
- **Gentle retouch window**: Briefly lets you adjust before an accidental trigger becomes final
- **Real-time preview**: Shows the current button while you are hovering
- **Great on large phones**: Handy when reaching across the screen is annoying
## โ๏ธ Adjust the trigger area first
- **Trigger edge**: Left / Right / Top / Bottom
- **Zone height**: Adjust the length of the trigger area
- **Zone position**: Configure where on the edge the trigger activates
- **Transparency**: Control panel and button opacity
- **Edge indicator**: Show or hide a persistent line marking the trigger zone
- **Floating Parrot**: Optional draggable launcher for people who prefer a visible entry point
## ๐งฐ What you can do from here
### ๐ท Row 1: Camera and scanning
- **Camera**: Quick photo capture
- **Video**: Quick video capture
#### ๐ QR and barcode scanner
If you scan QR codes often, this is one of the quickest ways to do it.
- Auto-detects QR codes and barcodes
- Opens URLs directly when the code is a link
- Falls back to web search when scanned text is not a URL
- Works in portrait and landscape
- Keeps the flow simple when you just want to scan something quickly
**Great for:**
- Shipping labels and tracking codes
- Mobile payment codes
- Website QR codes
- App-sharing codes
### ๐ต Row 2: Media controls
- **Rewind**: Skip back 10 seconds
- **Fast forward**: Jump ahead 10 seconds
- **Play / Pause**: Control current playback
- **Open now playing app**: Hover long enough on the play or pause button to jump into the current media app
### ๐๏ธ Row 3: Screen operations
- **Touch cursor**: Highlight and tap interactive elements more precisely
- **AI assistant**: Trigger voice commands and tool-based actions
- **Voice input**: Start voice typing without manually switching flows
## ๐ Accessibility requirement
The side panel needs Android accessibility permission so it can:
- Detect the edge gesture reliably
- Draw the floating overlay above other apps
- Interact with visible UI when touch cursor or assistant actions need it
## โ Common questions
### The side panel does not respond
- Confirm accessibility service is enabled
- Make sure you are swiping from the actual trigger edge
- Check whether another app is already using the same edge gesture
### Touch cursor clicks are not registering
- Verify accessibility permissions are granted
- Try clicking on highlighted interactive areas first
- Some system UI zones still have Android-imposed restrictions

# SelfReason Android: AI, offline-ready
:::tip
SelfReason is the **world's first (in late 2024)** app to deliver **fully offline**, **multimodal AI** on **regular consumer smartphones**. ๐๐
1. **๐ช Powerful and efficient offline AI experience**
2. **โ๏ธ Faster, more private, and more affordable cloud AI**
3. **๐ Flexible coordination across multiple AI services**
> _Note: Some features require a membership. See [HuBrowser Membership](/guide/basics/membership.md) for details._
[**Download now**](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=self.reason) and start using it for free.
:::
Today, most on-device AI solutions come from phone manufacturers and usually depend on specialized hardware.
There are also local AI apps, but many only support text input, and common downloadable models often run too slowly on regular phones.
SelfReason is designed from real AI usage needs first. It is faster, more capable, and multimodal.
As the name suggests, AI features in the SelfReason ecosystem (such as the SelfReason app, AI Adblock, and Reader Mode) focus on self-sufficiency and local processing whenever possible. You can even enable airplane mode and keep using it.
We will also release versions that can seamlessly operate HuBrowser and complete complex tasks. ๐
## ๐ฌ Video demos
Text & Voice Demo
Image Demo
Multi-AI Demo
## โจ Highlight 1: SelfReason offline AI
Offline mode focuses on three things: works without internet, keeps your data in your hands, and runs on phones. More importantly, it is not a desktop workflow forced onto mobile; it is designed for mobile from day one.
- **๐ถ Available anytime**: works even without internet or on unstable networks
- **๐ Privacy first**: your data stays under your control and reduces exposure risk
- **๐ฐ No extra subscription required**: you do not need a recurring cloud subscription
- **๐ง Multimodal support**: supports text, voice, and images
- **๐ฑ Mobile-first design**: many AI models struggle even on PCs, let alone phones and tablets. With over a decade of architecture experience from HuBrowser, SelfReason is optimized to run smoothly on consumer devices
- **โ๏ธ Native performance**: core modules are written in efficient C++, avoiding unnecessary virtual-machine overhead
- **๐พ High memory efficiency**: uses Android-specific and native optimizations so the UI uses less memory and leaves more resources for AI inference
- **โจ Advanced optimization**: includes model fine-tuning, quantization, pruning, and other optimization techniques
- **๐ฑ Hardware-aware behavior**: adapts automatically based on device state to balance performance and resource usage
- **๐๏ธ Minimal UI**: black-and-white ink style, zero ads, zero tracking, and more resources reserved for AI compute
## โ๏ธ Highlight 2: SelfReason cloud AI
- **โก Faster responses**: ideal for frequent conversations and rapid task switching
- **๐ Privacy-minded**: minimizes unnecessary data exposure for safer online usage
- **๐ More freedom**: globally available; when one model refuses, it can route to another model automatically
- **๐ธ Better value**: the AI market is highly competitive, and branded chatbots often include premium pricing. At similar quality, we can offer lower prices
## ๐ค Highlight 3: ask multiple AIs together
Available services vary by region, network condition, and budget. SelfReason coordinates across providers to choose a better option for the current situation.
You can route tasks to **local AI**, **AI chat apps installed on your phone**, or **cloud AI services**. For example, you can prioritize local models, route to apps like ChatGPT or Gemini, or use cloud providers such as Claude and Grok.
- **๐ฏ Flexible choices**: supports offline-only, online-only, auto, and custom priority order
- **โก Smart allocation**: routes tasks to local AI, cloud AI, search engines, or other tools based on context
- **๐ Consistent experience**: keeps UI and status cues as consistent as possible across providers
## ๐ Usage guide
This section covers three common usage styles: offline AI, cloud AI, and multi-provider AI workflows.
### SelfReason offline AI: how to use it
#### What you need
- **๐ง RAM**: 4GB or more recommended
- **๐พ Storage**: keep at least 15GB of free space if possible
#### Getting started
- **โ๏ธ Open the download page**: tap "SelfReason Local", enter settings, and find the download button
- **โฌ๏ธ First download**: after installation, you will need to download around 5GB of AI data
- **โณ Wait for completion**: we recommend finishing the download before starting a chat and avoiding background switching
- **๐ต If download stalls**: servers may be busy; wait and try again
- **๐ Status card**: the app shows whether local AI is not ready or ready
- **๐ First launch**: the first chat after download may be slower; performance improves after cache warm-up. Some devices may require an app restart after download completes
#### Usage experience
- **๐ Device status panel**: shows CPU, memory, and temperature
- **๐ผ๏ธ Multimodal input**: supports text, voice, and images
- **๐งญ Response speed**: depends on device performance; replies may take from 1 to 10 seconds
#### Optimization tips
- **๐งผ Resource management**: close background apps for better performance
- **โ๏ธ System settings**: add SelfReason to system whitelists, such as battery optimization whitelist
- **โ๏ธ Auto mode**: after trying local mode, cloud mode is usually better for everyday usage
### SelfReason cloud AI: how to use it
- **โก Cloud by default**: cloud AI is the default option after installation; ask a few prompts to test speed and quality
- **๐ Sign in to SelfReason Cloud**: after purchasing a membership, tap the top-right button to sign in
- **๐ณ Membership tiers**: check in-app membership cards, or read [HuBrowser Membership](/guide/basics/membership.md) for Member and Pro details
- **๐ Cloud sync**: one set of preferences and templates can be shared between cloud and local models
### Ask multiple AIs together: how to use it
- **๐ ๏ธ "AI Council" in settings**: adjust provider order based on your preferences
- **๐ค Route by AI type**: send tasks to local AI, AI chat apps on your phone, or cloud AI services
- **๐งฉ Multiple targets supported**: for example SelfReason Local, ChatGPT (App), Gemini (App), and cloud GPT or Grok
- **๐งญ Sort your favorites**: enable, disable, and reorder AI priorities to define your own default strategy
- **๐ Parallel workflows**: ask multiple AIs at once, or pass one AI's response to the next in sequence (here "AI" can also include search engines and tools; tool features are still being expanded)
## ๐ Learn more
### Menu
- **๐งญ Top-left conversation sidebar**: manage chats and switch conversations
- **๐ Conversation menu**: each chat supports **Rename**, **Pin / Unpin**, and **Delete**
- **๐ Pinned + Recent groups**: important chats stay on top and recent chats remain easy to find
- **๐ Swipe inward from the left edge**: open the chat list
- **๐ Swipe inward from the right edge**: start a new chat
### Personal preferences
- **๐ค Flexible languages**: supports mixed-language input across all connected services
- **๐ Personalized style control**: adjust reply style preferences such as formal or humorous, and apply them across models
- **๐ค Easy export**: share your settings with friends or sync them to your other devices
- **๐ฅ Easy import**: one-click import of shared settings, including beginner-friendly workflows
- **๐ Shared parameters**: one configuration can keep similar behavior across local and cloud models
- **๐จ Reusable templates**: templates for editing, research, formatting, and more can be reused across AI services
### Experience
- **๐งฉ Unified interface**: use one familiar interaction model regardless of provider
- **๐ Automatic selection**: available services vary by region, and SelfReason adapts automatically
- **๐ณ Reply haptics**: optional vibration feedback while AI responses arrive
- **โ๏ธ Edge-swipe shortcuts**: left edge for chat management, right edge for new chat
- **๐ฑ Home-screen widgets**: one-tap entry to text, image, and voice modes
- **๐ Widget entry actions**: widgets can jump directly to chat, camera, or voice input flows
- **๐จ Multiple widget styles**: compact, large, and light variants for different home layouts
- **๐ Tablet layout**: on wide screens, the conversation sidebar stays visible next to the main chat area for faster switching
### Privacy and security
- **๐ Zero collection**: SelfReason does not collect user data and also helps protect your privacy
- **๐ท๏ธ Clear AI status**: routing state remains visible, so you know whether local or online service is active
- **โ๏ธ Information protection**: sensitive content can be screened automatically in different scenarios:
- **๐ค Personal protection**: names, addresses, bank card numbers, and other private information can be masked with asterisks. You do not want personal data sent to cloud AI and then unexpectedly appearing in someone else's outputs
- **๐ซ Fewer avoidable refusals**: helps reduce refusals caused by occasional sensitive words in long text or multi-image inputs
- **๐ Content filtering**: selectively hide specific content or personal information of strangers
- **๐ Professional mode**: avoid inappropriate outputs in work environments or supervised contexts
- **๐ผ๏ธ Smart image masking**: can automatically detect and protect sensitive content in images โณ
### Keyboard shortcuts
- **โจ๏ธ Ctrl+J**: new chat
- **โจ๏ธ Ctrl+K**: open settings
- **โจ๏ธ Ctrl+L**: focus input box
### Planned features
Based on current website copy and code markers, these items are still planned:
- **๐ HuBrowser ecosystem collaboration**: use local browsing data from HuBrowser to improve SelfReason reasoning โณ
- **๐ค Direct execution**: SelfReason can directly control tasks in HuBrowser โณ
- **โ๏ธ Complex task automation**: complete browser-based actions such as booking flights, hotels, shopping, and visa applications โณ
- **๐ AI enhancement for other apps on your device**: install web pages or browser extensions as standalone apps via HuBrowser, then integrate SelfReason capabilities gradually โณ

# Ad blocking
## ๐ก๏ธ Clean browsing experience
When using other free browsers, users' activities and files are uploaded and analyzed, leading to targeted advertisements. This business model results in browsers filled with low-quality ads and frequent pop-ups, creating a poor user experience that drives more and more users to prefer using dedicated apps instead.
HuBrowser is dedicated to providing a clean and straightforward browsing experience without pushing any advertisements or questionable content. Users can focus on browsing content without worrying about ad pop-ups.
## ๐ซ No intrusive pop-ups
In other browsers, users frequently encounter unexpected "small window" advertisements that are easy to click by mistake. For example, QQ Browser displays ads after each use of its cleaning function, seriously affecting the user experience. HuBrowser has none of these annoying ad pop-ups, allowing users to browse with peace of mind.
## โก Smart ad blocking technology
HuBrowser automatically blocks the most malicious web requests (such as covert cryptocurrency mining and inappropriate ad pop-ups), but doesn't aim to eliminate all advertisements, ensuring zero false positives and an overall increase in browsing speed. Other ad-blocking methods on mobile devices, while blocking ads, are inefficient and ultimately slow down loading speeds. Our approach ensures both browsing security and maintains optimal browsing speed.
## ๐ Privacy-First approach
HuBrowser doesn't collect your browsing data to sell to advertisers. Unlike other browsers that track your every move, HuBrowser respects your privacy while efficiently blocking intrusive ads. Your browsing history remains yours alone.
## ๐จ Faster browsing experience
By blocking resource-heavy ads and trackers, HuBrowser delivers up to 3x faster browsing speeds compared to other browsers. With fewer ads loading, websites open quicker and use less data, saving you both time and money.
## ๐ Constantly updated
Our ad-blocking technology is constantly updated to counter new tracking techniques and intrusive ad formats, ensuring you always have the latest protection while browsing the web with HuBrowser.
## ๐ค Looking for more advanced protection?
Want to take your ad blocking to the next level? Check out our [AI-powered Adblock](/guide/features/parrot-assistant/adblock.md) feature that uses cutting-edge artificial intelligence to provide a truly personalized and distraction-free browsing experience!

- Complicated setup, many steps, error-prone
### ๐งญโ Navigation & execution issues
- Page navigation is inaccurate, popups are hard to handle
- AI may hallucinate task completion, incomplete execution
- Step limits, frequent timeouts
### ๐๐ Information & permission barriers
- Information extraction is inaccurate, data loss
- Login & permission issues:
- ๐ท Blocked by website
- ๐ Cannot log in (captcha, infrastructure limits)
- ๐ค Bot detection (Google, Facebook, etc.)
### ๐ธ๐ฅ Cost & efficiency
- High running costs, more steps, $0.1-$0.5 per step
- ๐งพ Benchmark tests cost thousands of dollars!
- ๐ช Token waste, repetitive and invalid steps
- ๐ Slow execution, low efficiency
- ๐ผ๏ธ Full webpage screenshots required, cannot fully utilize metadata
### ๐๐ฑ Privacy & security
- Many solutions collect user data for analytics or advertising (e.g., OpenAI Operator, Browser Use)
- Cloud platforms can expose sensitive information, insufficient security
- HuBrowser advocates user choice, not relying on ads or data monetization
### ๐งฉ๐ซ Compatibility & adaptation
- Poor cross-browser/OS compatibility
- Rely on Python, HTML/JS to Python conversion is slow and error-prone
- Poor mobile adaptation, HuBrowser natively supports mobile
๐โจ **Summary:**
- Common issues: complexity, lack of privacy, weak cross-platform ability
- HuBrowser solves these pain points for a better experience
## ๐ซ Limitations of competing approaches
### ๐ฅ๏ธ Desktop UI testing suite approaches
- ๐งช Most "AI agents" are traditional desktop UI testing software (e.g., Playwright, Puppeteer, Selenium) with cloud AI calls, making them impractical for general-purpose automation.
- ๐ Desktop AI agents are confined to desktop environments, which are less convenient for real-world tasks than mobile devices. HuBrowserโs mobile-first design ensures automation capabilities anytime, anywhere.
- You are already $0.5 down when these AI agents are still scrolling down a Google search page. We are faster, and 10x cheaper.
### ๐งฉ Browser extension approaches
- ๐ ๏ธ Extensions are easy to make, but they are slow and limited in capability. Many advanced features and integrations are simply out of reach for browser extensions.
- ๐งฑ Extensions cannot access native C++ code, which is essential for high-performance AI workloads. In contrast, browsers can leverage native code for much faster and more efficient processing.
- ๐ณ Extensions lack access to structured browser information like the Accessibility Treeโa semantic, cleaner version of the DOM used by screen readers. This tree is perfect for AI agents to understand web pages, but extension APIs do not provide access to it.
- ๐ซ As a result, browser extensions are fundamentally weaker for building powerful, context-aware AI agents compared to native or deeply integrated solutions like HuBrowser.
### ๐ API-only approaches
- ๐ ๏ธ Many agent solutions relying on APIs (MCP, Android adb) are limited, require extensive setup, and struggle with dynamic web content or complex user interactions.
- ๐ Most web systems lack comprehensive APIs, or existing APIs don't capture full UI functionality. HuBrowser enables AI agents to interact with the web visually and contextually, much like humans.
### ๐๏ธ Visual-only approaches
- ๐ธ Relying solely on visual input for web automation is costly and slow. A compressed UI image can consume \~10k tokens, potentially costing $20-$1000+ for each daily task with cloud AI. Small elements often require multiple queries, increasing error risk and slowing interaction (4x-10x slower than humans).
- โก HuBrowser combines visual input with structured data (HTML, metadata, history) for efficient and cost-effective automation.
### โ๏ธ Browser-on-the-Cloud approaches
- ๐ These typically use scripts for a "headless browser" in the cloud, often leading to slowness, high costs, complex setup, and challenges with logins and session management.
- ๐ This contrasts with HuBrowser's local-first model, which prioritizes on-device processing for speed, privacy, and simplicity.
### ๐จ๏ธ Special hardware approaches
- ๐ฐ Some solutions require special hardware, which can be expensive and impractical for everyday users.
- ๐ HuBrowser enhances your digital experience without new hardware, making it ideal for productivity seekers, enterprises, developers, and privacy-focused users.
๐ก **Why HuBrowser Wins:** Native integration, mobile-first, privacy-firstโHuBrowser delivers a superior agent experience for everyone.
## โณ Timeline of AI agent revolution
- **2016:** Early browser automation tools (Selenium, Puppeteer) focus on UI testing and scripting.
- **2019:** Cloud-based AI agents emerge, enabling remote automation but raising privacy and latency concerns.
- **2021:** Visual-based agents use screenshots and image recognition for web automation, but face high costs and slow speeds.

# ๐งญ Thinking about user intent routing
When you make a request to an AI assistant, it gets "routed" somewhere โ a search engine, an app, a web service, or handled internally by the AI itself. How that routing decision is made, who benefits from it, and whose priorities are being quietly sorted in the background are questions worth continuing to pay attention to.
The diagram above sketches two possible directions for how AI handles user intent. One is end-to-end black-box processing by a few large service providers. The other is a solution where users configure different services themselves. The reality will likely be a mix of both.
## How business models shape routing
Not all tools route intent the same way. The business model behind a product creates ongoing, often invisible pressure on its routing decisions โ not necessarily malicious, but hard to entirely avoid.
**Free tools** typically monetize through advertising and commercial partnerships. This means:
- Search results may be influenced by paid placement or platform agreements
- Recommended content may prioritize merchants and services with commercial relationships with the tool
- Traffic gets directed toward partners, sometimes overtly, sometimes not
**Paid tools** face different incentives. When users pay directly, there's more motivation to optimize for user outcomes rather than advertiser outcomes. But this doesn't mean paid products are entirely neutral โ they too can favor their own ecosystem, push certain integrations, or simplify in ways that sacrifice transparency for a cleaner interface.
## Tradeoffs between two directions
Which direction becomes dominant likely won't be decided by any single design choice โ it'll follow the funding and incentives behind whichever tools gain the most users.
### Closed ecosystem
One direction leads toward a small number of dominant AI platforms that handle everything internally. You send a command, get a result, and the routing logic stays invisible. Apps gradually become plugins to a central system.
**The appeal:**
- **A smoother user experience**: end-to-end optimization by the same system reduces friction and inconsistency across services
- **Lower cognitive load**: users don't need to think about "which tool is right for which task" โ the system decides for you
- **Faster error recovery**: unified context makes conversations more coherent, with more natural correction when things go wrong
- **High-quality vertical integration**: hardware, models, and system services deeply coordinated to deliver experiences that are hard to replicate in open approaches
**Costs worth considering:**
- **High adaptation costs** for developers trying to integrate with multiple competing platforms, leading to ecosystem fragmentation
- **Concentrated control** in a few companies, with limited effective external accountability
- **Reduced competition**, which tends to limit both innovation and the real choices available to users
- **Opacity by design** โ the simpler the interface, the harder it becomes to see what's happening underneath, let alone question it
### Open ecosystem
Another direction keeps AI as a visible, transparent layer connecting users to a diverse range of apps and services. Routing decisions are more observable โ you can see what the system chose, with some basis for evaluating the logic behind it.
**The appeal:**
- **User-controlled routing**, rather than platform-controlled routing
- **Transparent recommendations** that can be questioned or overridden
- **Privacy-preserving options** through on-device or open-source models
- **A more level competitive playing field** where services earn placement through quality rather than buying exposure
**Challenges to face:**
- **Higher user burden**: more freedom means more configuration overhead, and "which model is best for this task" is itself a question
- **Fragmented experience**: when multiple services need to work together, consistency and smoothness often suffer compared to a single platform
- **Fuzzier security and privacy boundaries**: open connections mean a larger attack surface, and responsibility boundaries are harder to define
- **Lagging standardization**: the more open the ecosystem, the slower interoperability protocols get established and adopted, and the user experience often pays the price
## No absolute answer
The tension between these two directions is fundamentally the **classic tradeoff between efficiency and autonomy**. Closed systems are better at "getting things done." Open systems are better at "letting you see what's happening." Most users actually need both in different contexts โ the question is who defines where that boundary sits, and how it shifts over time.
The browser, as the oldest "routing layer" between users and the internet, sits right at the center of this contest. It's one of the few platforms that simultaneously has local execution capability, cross-service context awareness, and user authorization mechanisms โ which is exactly why we think AI intent routing deserves serious consideration at the browser layer.
## What's your take?
If any of this resonates โ or if you think the framing is off โ we're interested in hearing from you. Especially the more technical angles, like _why this has to happen in the browser specifically_ rather than in an app, an OS layer, or somewhere else entirely.

# Universal automation protocol (UAP)
:::info
**UAP makes automation accessible, portable, and future-proof across platforms.**
:::
Universal Automation Protocol (UAP) is an open standard created by HuBrowser to define and run automation tasks on any device or platform. Whether youโre a beginner or an expert, UAP lets you record, import, and export automation tasks in a simple, readable format. Run your automations with any UAP-compatible appโno vendor lock-in.
:::tip
If you do not have technical knowledge, you can still read this page and easily understand and write your own automation steps.
If you have technical knowledge, you will see how this fits into enterprise UI testing and cross-platform automation.
:::
- **Human-friendly:** Uses `JSON` for easy reading and writing.
- **Type-safe:** Protocol types are defined in `TypeScript` for reliability.
- **AI-first:** Designed for the new era of mobile AI agents, solving challenges that legacy standards like Playwright or Selenium canโt.
- **Cross-platform:** Enables sharing automation scripts between platformsโeven if HuBrowser doesnโt support iPhone, your scripts can still work.
## Terms
- **Mode**: 3 [modes](/guide/features/parrot-assistant/agent/highlights.md#%EF%B8%8F-adaptability-meets-predictability) we support:
- `instruction`: Natural Language instruction for the action
- `recording`: Recorded automation steps
- `script`: Scripted automation steps
- **Harden**: Switches from a more flexible mode to a more deterministic mode (e.g. from `instruction` to `script`), making the automation faster and more precise.
- **Soften**: Switches from a more deterministic mode to a more flexible mode (e.g. from `script` to `instruction`), making the automation more adaptable but potentially slower.
## Example: UAP action (JSON)
```json
[
{
"command": "goal",
"goal": "Submit the form"
},
{
"command": "tap",
"selector": "#submit-button",
"displayMsg": "Tap the submit button"
},
{
"command": "wait",
"duration": 2000,
"displayMsg": "Wait for 2 seconds"
},
{
"command": "assert",
"assertion": {
"type": "visible",
"selector": "#success-message"
},
"displayMsg": "Check if success message is visible"
}
]
```
This example shows a simple form fill workflow. UAP actions are easy to write and understand.

## General structure control
UAP uses familiar schema concepts to keep definitions clear and extensible:
- **properties**: Defines the attributes of an object.
- **anyOf**: Supports multiple possible types or structures.
- **required**: Specifies fields that must be provided.
- **type**: Restricts the data type of a value.
- **default**: Provides a default value.
- **item\_count\_range**: Controls the minimum and maximum length of an array.
### Tool use
UAP also supports describing tool and function calls in a structured way:
```json
{
"tool_choice": { "function": { "name": "" } },
"tools": [
{
"function": {
"description": "",
"name": "",
"parameters": {}
},
"type": "function"
}
]
}
```
This structure defines how tools and functions are described in UAP.
## Maintenance and versioning
- **version**: v25.1
- Open Source License: [Apache License 2.0](https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0)
- AI evolves quickly, but we try to keep changes predictable:
{/* */}
- At most 1 breaking change in 2 months, when you need to redownload the automation protocol file.
- **Graceful fallback:** If an environment doesnโt support a certain action, UAP-compatible apps should ensure your automation wonโt break unexpectedly.

# ๐ฆ HuBrowser agent: technical details ๐ ๏ธ
:::info
**This is for technical audiences. You do not need to read this to enjoy HuBrowser agent features. ๐**
This page details some of the architecture and exploration of the HuBrowser Agent. The AI agent is evolving rapidly; this guide may not always reflect the latest updates.
:::
HuBrowser delivers robust, intelligent browser automation through a modular, extensible design. Below, we outline its architecture, state management, intelligence, and unique technical solutions.
## ๐ Overview & architecture
- **Flexible automation:** Combine natural language, recorded actions, and code for adaptable control
- **Advanced task decomposition:** Breaks complex tasks into manageable subtasks with intelligent tool selection
- **Comprehensive toolset:** Integrates browser, file, command-line, API, and data analysis capabilities
- **Real-time feedback:** Track and modify intermediate results as tasks execute
- **Modular, extensible design:** Built for reliability, transparency, and easy extension
### Core workflow
HuBrowser operates in a continuous loop:
1. **Initialization:** Agent is created with a task, LLM, and browser instance; all components are initialized with telemetry
2. **Execution Loop:** State retrieval โ LLM analysis โ action execution โ state update
3. **Completion:** Task completion triggers event recording, history return, and optional GIF generation
### System components
- **Agent:** Plans and executes tasks, manages state/history, handles LLM messaging and errors
- **Controller:** Registers browser actions, validates parameters, bridges LLM instructions to browser operations
- **Browser:** Manages browser instances, contexts, tabs, navigation, and DOM operations
- **DomService:** Builds DOM trees, identifies interactive elements, tracks history and viewport info
- **Background Process (Virtual Sandbox):** Executes automation tasks in an isolated environment, ensuring operations run smoothly without disrupting the user's browsing experience.
## ๐ Memory management
- The agent operates with persistent memory of its previous actions. This gives it the ability to make informed decisions in subsequent steps by leveraging context from earlier interactions. For example, without persistent memory, if the agent clicks a button and navigates to a new page, it may not remember that it initiated the navigation when extracting data.
- Modeling historic data as "memory" significantly streamlines the development and robustness of automation scripts, compared to manually passing data between steps using explicit variablesโa process that becomes cumbersome and error-prone for complex workflows.
- Application State: Active tabs, form inputs, and authentication cookies
- Personal Preferences: Learned through implicit signals
- This approach enables us to build more complex and dynamic automation scenarios where the agent can truly "understand" the context of its actions.
Browsing History: Encoded via Sentence-BERT embeddings for semantic recall
## Basic properties
- **context\_evaluation:** Post-action outcome analysis and adjustment planning
- **memory:** Persistent storage of progress and key information
- **short\_term\_goal:** Immediate next steps
- **long\_term\_goal:** Overall objective guiding the sequence
### Compressed memory
- **Summarize each completed step:** After every action (e.g., click, data extraction, navigation), the agent generates a concise summary of what just occurred. This summary could include details like:
- "Navigate: amazon.com."
- "Input text: 'parrot toy' into field 'Search Query'."
- "Query: 'Product Name' as 'Parrot Toy', 'Price' as '$22'."
- "Tap: on the 'Submit' button."
- **Retain and utilize this memory for subsequent steps:**
The agent has access to these step summaries throughout the current automation run. This memory is accessible to inform decisions and actions in later steps.
***
HuBrowser manages state on two levels:
1. **Multi-Tab Orchestration:** Manages browser instances, contexts, and pages for complex workflows
2. **Tab-Level Context:** Parses and extracts page element information with precise targeting
- Filters irrelevant nodes (empty text, scripts, SVG), assigns unique XPath identifiers
- Detects interactive elements (ARIA roles, event listeners, content-editable)
- Handles cookie banners/consent dialogs
- Converts JavaScript flat maps to Python object networks
## ๐ Page & DOM processing
HuBrowser translates complex web structures into LLM-friendly descriptions using structured text and indexed screenshots. Page info is treated as one-time data, cleared after each request to maintain LLM context efficiency.
### DOM tree analysis
- Identifies visible, interactive, and top-layer elements
- Multi-layered interactivity checks (ARIA, events, content-editable)
- High-performance element highlighting overlays
- Focused on actionable types: buttons, text nodes, images, forms, containers
- **Filtering:** Ignores elements less than 5px (tracking pixels) or larger than screen size
- **Extraction:** Generates unified WebElementInfo with IDs, hashes, locators
- **Tag logic:** Uses parent tag for most elements, with special handling for forms
- **Tree operations:** Applies algorithms to transform into structured trees
**Element Properties Example:**
```json
{
"tagName": "a",
"attributes": {},
"xpath": "html/body/div/a[2]",
"children": ["idx_459"],
"isVisible": true,
"isTopElement": true,
"isInteractive": true,
"isInViewport": true,
"highlightIndex": 5,
"elementId": "element_123",
"indexId": "idx_456",
"nodeHashId": "hash_789",
"content": "HuBrowsing",
"position": { "x": 100, "y": 200, "width": 60, "height": 30 },
"centerCoordinates": { "x": 150, "y": 225 },
"zoomLevel": 1.0,
"screenDimensions": { "width": 1920, "height": 1080 }
}
```
### Screenshot processing
- **DPR (Device Pixel Ratio) adaptation for different screen resolutions:** Adjusts screenshots for high-resolution screens (DPR > 1) to ensure pixel-accurate element positioning
- **Element marking:** Adds interactive element markers/borders for LLM identification and actionable UI cues
### User intent recognition
- Analyzes mouse and touch movement patterns to assess user interest, enabling agents to prioritize processing and tailor responses.
- Highlights the likelihood of interaction for each element based on semantic intent, and can optionally display color coding to users. This helps agents focus on the most relevant information or actions.
## ๐ง Agent intelligence & tool integration
### Tool integration & action registry
- Structured function calling with JSON Schema validation for precise execution
- Flexible registration for sync/async operations
## ๐ง
Multi-Layer context system
HuBrowser selects context layers based on task complexity and LLM needs, balancing performance and accuracy:
- **Text Content:** Visible text extraction
- **HTML Metadata:** Titles, meta tags
- **Viewport Screenshot:** Current visible area
- **Page Thumbnail:** Low-res previews
- **Full Page Screenshot:** Complete visual snapshot
- **Flattened HTML Tree:** Structured DOM with key properties
- **Full HTML Tree:** Complete DOM for deep inspection
- **Web API Data:** Structured data for detailed tasks
## ๐ฏ Target planning & execution
### Planning methodologies
1. **Parameter Building:** Creates detailed locating parameters with element context
2. **Plan Creation:** Generates comprehensive operation plans with fallback strategies
3. **Task Execution:** Converts plans into actionable tasks
**AI Assist Response:**
- **Text Models:** Element IDs with reasoning
- **Visual Models:** Bounding box coordinates
### Action method & context management
- Retains single user message with summarized history
- Passes comprehensive page descriptions (DOM tree, element details) for general models
- Excludes DOM info for visual models to reduce overhead
- Generates detailed action plans with outcome predictions
- Maintains execution logs and error info
- Predicts results before execution for proactive error handling
- Preserves message history with up to four screenshots
- Integrates user instructions directly into system prompts
- Includes previous AI responses for contextual continuity
- **Advanced:**
- Action decomposition: Breaks complex instructions into operations
- Element locating optimization: Reuses located IDs/classes/coordinates to minimize model calls
- Context efficiency: Balances history with performance
## ๐งฉ Technical challenges & solutions
HuBrowser addresses real-world web automation challenges with advanced solutions:
- ๐ผ๏ธ **Iframe Processing:** Recursive traversal of nested iframes, cross-origin handling

# ๐ Browser & agents
When people talk about AI agents, they tend to focus on the reasoning capabilities of large language models โ and overlook a basic truth: **the vast majority of agent tasks are ultimately carried out through a browser.** The browser isn't an optional accessory for agents; it's the most important interface between an agent and the real world.
## ๐ What are agents actually doing?
When you ask an AI agent to help you complete a task, its execution path almost always leads to a browser:
- **Information retrieval:** Search engines, news, documentation, forums โ these are all web pages.
- **Forms and logins:** Booking flights, filling out applications, registering accounts โ all require interacting with web forms.
- **E-commerce and payments:** Comparing prices, placing orders, tracking shipments โ all in the browser.
- **Content creation assistance:** Finding resources, verifying data, uploading and publishing โ reliant on web services.
- **Workflow automation:** Operating SaaS tools (email, calendars, project management) โ the vast majority are web apps.
Even tasks that appear "purely local" often require accessing a web API or web interface to complete the final step. **The browser is the most critical execution layer in an agent's chain of action.**
## ๐ค Common questions
### Can search tools replace real browser operations?
There is a significant difference between tool-call-style search (e.g., `search("keyword")` returning a summary) and true browser interaction.
Real web interaction includes: handling login state, clicking dynamically loaded content, dealing with CAPTCHAs, and operating JavaScript-rendered interfaces. **Text summaries cannot replace full control over a page.** For tasks that genuinely require operating web pages, an agent with full browser control is far more reliable.
### Where does the browser fit in an agent workflow?
Understanding the browser's role in agent architecture helps evaluate different solutions more accurately. A more apt framing is: **the browser is the runtime environment for agent workflows** โ not just one tool among many.
The complexity of modern web applications โ session state, cookies, cross-origin requests, dynamic rendering โ requires a full browser-level runtime to handle correctly. When the browser serves as the runtime environment, an agent can fully reach every layer of web content.
### Native app agents vs. browser agents โ what are each best at?
Both have their strengths. OS-level automation (such as RPA) excels at desktop software, but **the vast majority of services in the world have already moved to the web** โ when facing web applications, a browser-native agent can fully understand and manipulate page structure rather than relying on screenshot-based pixel recognition, giving it a clear advantage in web scenarios.
### What is the fundamental difference between an agent browser and a regular browser?
A true agent browser requires deep AI integration at the architectural level:
- **Page semantic understanding:** Not just "seeing" the page, but understanding the intent and function of each element.
- **Cross-tab context:** Agents need to simultaneously perceive the state of multiple tabs and coordinate cross-page tasks.
- **Proactive intervention vs. passive response:** An agent browser can anticipate user needs and offer assistance at the right moment.
- **Persistent memory:** Remembering user preferences, account information, and task history across sessions.
These capabilities require fundamental changes to the browser engine โ not layering a plugin on top of an existing browser.
## ๐ฏ The unique advantages of browser as agent infrastructure
### Depth and breadth of context
The browser naturally accumulates the most complete record of a user's digital behavior โ browsing history, search habits, account systems, filled-out forms. This context allows agents to make more accurate judgments rather than starting from scratch every time.
Standalone AI apps can never achieve this level of context accumulation, because a user's digital life itself happens inside the browser.
### The most universal interface
Whether on Windows, macOS, or Linux, whether on a corporate intranet or a public service, the browser provides a unified access layer. An agent running inside a browser naturally gains cross-platform, cross-service capability without needing separate adaptation for each platform.
### Natural permission and trust boundaries
Browsers have already established a mature permission model โ users are familiar with "Allow/Deny" authorization interactions. An agent operating within the browser framework can reuse this trust mechanism, making it easier for users to understand and authorize than OS-level automation.
## โ ๏ธ Real concerns
### ๐ Privacy boundaries
A browser agent has the potential ability to access a user's complete digital life โ this is exactly what makes it powerful, and also its greatest risk. Users need clear permission controls: what the agent can access, what it cannot, and whether data will be uploaded or shared. **Transparency is not optional โ it is a basic requirement.**
### โ๏ธ Legal boundaries of automated behavior
An agent automatically operating websites on a user's behalf may run into website terms of service or relevant laws. When an agent "acts for the user," questions of liability remain unclear. Users should understand the boundaries of the automated behavior they use, and developers also need to provide reasonable guardrails at the product level.
## ๐ Conclusion
The browser is not a relic of the AI agent era โ it is its most important execution infrastructure. Understanding this helps us more clearly evaluate the true capabilities of various "AI agent" products: **an agent that cannot truly control a browser can only complete a small fraction of agent tasks.**
The core philosophy of HuBrowser is to deeply integrate the browser and agents at the architectural level โ not simply stitching the two together. This is the fundamental reason we believe browser-native agents represent the direction of the future.

# ๐ ๏ธ Automation editor & management
Automation has two management surfaces: a popup workspace and a dedicated full-page editor.
## Popup workspace
The popup editor is optimized for the page you are currently viewing.
- It resolves the active tab hostname.
- It shows matching automations for the current URL.
- It lets you enable or disable a workflow quickly.
- It supports edit and delete actions for matching workflows.
- It includes an inline automation form for adding a new workflow or saving changes to the current one.
## Import and export
The popup workspace also includes JSON transfer controls.
- **Export** downloads your saved automations as a JSON file.
- **Import** reads an automation JSON file and validates the workflows it contains.
- Import supports two modes: **Replace all existing** or **Add new only**.
## Full automations page
The full editor is designed for a larger automation library.
- Search by workflow name or description.
- Filter by total count, today, disabled, hotkey, URL match, click, focus, unnamed, and hostname.
- Open workflow details in an editor modal.
- Delete all workflows in the current filtered result.
This page is the right place to clean up old drafts, rename recorded workflows, and work across multiple sites.
## Recorder integration
[Record & Repeat](/guide/features/parrot-assistant/record-and-repeat.md) connects directly to Automation.
- The recorder captures clicks and text inputs.
- **Save & edit** converts the recording into automation steps.
- HuBrowser saves the new workflow and tries to open it in the full automation editor immediately.
This makes Record & Repeat a fast capture layer, while Automation remains the long-term editor for reusable workflows.

# automation
Access this feature through the icon.
Automation is HuBrowser's reusable workflow system. You decide **when** a workflow runs with conditions, and **what** it does with action steps.
## What you get
- A popup workspace focused on the current page and hostname.
- A full automations page for search, filtering, and larger-scale editing.
- JSON import/export for backups and migration.
- Integration with [Record & Repeat](/guide/features/parrot-assistant/record-and-repeat.md), which can save captured steps directly into Automation.
## How it works
Each automation workflow has a few core parts:
- A name and enabled state.
- Trigger logic that decides when the workflow should run.
- One or more conditions such as hostname, URL pattern, DOM readiness, hotkey, or watched elements.
- One or more action steps such as click, input, focus, URL transforms, DOM changes, or scripts.
New workflows in the popup start from a prefilled template for the current site, so you can adjust a draft instead of building everything from scratch.
## Two editing surfaces
### Popup workspace
Use the popup when you want to work on the current site quickly.
- It loads the active page hostname.
- It shows matching automations for the current URL.
- It lets you enable, disable, edit, delete, and add workflows.
- It includes import/export controls.
### Full automations page
Use the full page when your library gets larger.
- Search by name or description.
- Filter by status, date, hostname, and common workflow traits.
- Bulk-delete the currently filtered set.
- Open a focused editor modal for a specific workflow.
## Learn the workflow model
- [Workflow model](/guide/features/parrot-assistant/automation/workflow-model.md)
- [Editor & management](/guide/features/parrot-assistant/automation/editor.md)
## Best fit
Automation is the right tool when you want a repeatable browser workflow that you can keep, refine, and rerun later. If you want to capture a flow first and clean it up afterward, start with [Record & Repeat](/guide/features/parrot-assistant/record-and-repeat.md) and then continue in Automation.

# ๐ Automation workflow model
Automation workflows combine **conditions** and **action steps**.
## Trigger conditions
Current supported condition types include:
### Page lifecycle
- `beforeDomReady`
- `domReady`
### Hostname and URL matching
- `hostname`
- `hostnameEndsWith`
- `hostnameIs`
- `hostnameIsOneOf`
- `urlPattern`
### User and document events
- `hotkey`
- `documentEvent`
- `scrollEdge`
### Element watchers
- `elementLoaded`
- `elementVisible`
These conditions let you scope a workflow to one site, one page pattern, one hotkey, or a specific DOM event.
## Action steps
Current action support spans several groups.
### Interaction steps
- `click`
- `input`
- `focus`
- `dispatchKey`
- `scrollBy`
- `wait`
### URL and navigation steps
- `replaceUrl`
- `appendUrlText`
- `appendUrlPathSegment`
- `navigateToCurrentUrlMatch`
- `trimUrlPathSegment`
- `navigateToSelectorHref`
- `replaceCurrentUrlPattern`
- `blockNavigation`
### DOM and content helpers
- `removeClass`
- `transformText`
- `replaceWithImage`
- `replaceWithImageFromContent`
- `hydrateAttributes`
- `hydrateFromAdjacentHtml`
- `hideContainersByLinkPattern`
- `lazyEmbedFrame`
- `embedIframeFromExtractedUrl`
- `injectLinkButton`
- `highlightBestTextMatch`
- `autoSelectDropdownOptions`
- `preventVisibilityPause`
- `setMuted`
### Custom execution
- `customScript`
- `runScript`
- `runStyle`
## Practical rule of thumb
Use conditions to answer **when should this run?**
Use steps to answer **what should HuBrowser do next?**
If you want to capture the first version of a workflow by example, start in [Record & Repeat](/guide/features/parrot-assistant/record-and-repeat.md), then save it into Automation and refine the workflow there.

# ๐ฌ ChatAnywhere: private chat on any website
ChatAnywhere lets HuBrowser users open a lightweight chat room on the page they are already visiting, so people can talk around a shared link without creating an account or relying on a central chat server.
Access this feature through the icon
Chat Anywhere Demo
- **Chat with anyone on any site!**
- Add private chat room functionality to any website, enabling real-time messaging anytime, anywhere. ๐
- Click the ๐ฌ chat icon in the parrot assistant menu to turn the current site into a chat room!
> ๐ก๏ธ **Anonymous ยท Decentralized ยท Serverless ยท Private**
## Why it's different: no server required
Most chat apps route your messages through a central server โ which means your data can be monitored, stored, or censored.
| | Traditional Chat | HuBrowser Chat |
| -------------- | -------------------------------------- | --------------------------------- |
| **Connection** | All messages go through a cloud server | Direct peer-to-peer (WebRTC) |
| **Speed** | Slower, higher latency | Faster, lower latency |
| **Privacy** | Data can be monitored or stored | No data collected |
| **Censorship** | Risk of censorship | Chat freely anywhere in the world |
For thousands of years, people communicated privately through letters and other means. Over the last 30 years, that shifted to services that are constantly monitored. Whether it's Telegram, Signal, or email โ as long as there's a server, there's always a tendency to monitor and control. HuBrowser aims to change all that!
## How to use
1. Click the ๐ฌ chat icon in the Parrot Assistant menu on **any website**
2. Start chatting in the chat room instantly!
## Features
- Send text, emojis, and images
- Send danmaku across the screen
- Real-time user count indicator
- Anyone can join the chat but won't see messages sent before they joined
- Lightweight, only runs when you press the chat button
## Example scenarios
- **Watch a video together**: Chat with family, friends, or even strangers while watching a video on your favorite streaming site. ๐ฅ
- **Collaborate on documents**: Discuss and collaborate on documents in real-time with colleagues. ๐
- **Shop together**: Share opinions and get instant feedback while shopping online with friends. ๐๏ธ
- **Discuss articles**: Engage in conversations about articles or blog posts with other readers, even when there's no comment section or the comment section is closed or censored. ๐ฐ
## Other browsers
- For other browsers, you can [install the WebChat extension from Chrome Web Store](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/webchat/cpaedhbidlpnbdfegakhiamfpndhjpgf) and chat with clients using HuBrowser.
- This feature is adapted from the original code at [https://github.com/molvqingtai/WebChat](https://github.com/molvqingtai/WebChat) ๐ to make it work on mobile.

The Parrot Assistant's AI will continuously upgrade to understand you better, and next time you use the eraser, it might automatically remove the content you want to erase.
## ๐ Important note
- Element Eraser is designed for quick cleanup, not permanent page customization.
- Most modern websites generate dynamic element identifiers on each load, so the same block can appear as different every time.
- Example: an element class might look like `x34dfsdf-df` on one visit and `3434dfdf-2j` after refresh.
- If you want persistent, repeatable removal, use AI AdBlock instead.

# record & repeat
Open this feature from the button grid with the icon. HuBrowser opens the recorder panel on the current page and starts recording immediately.
**Record & Repeat Demo**
Record & Repeat Demo
:::tip ๐ฌ What it does
Record & Repeat is a lightweight recorder for repeatable browser tasks.
- It records clicks and text input changes.
- It shows how many clicks and inputs you captured.
- It lets you continue the same recording or restart from scratch.
- It replays the captured steps locally with configurable loops and delay.
- It can save the captured steps as a standard automation and open the full editor.
:::
## How to use it
1. Open the current page and tap the Record & Repeat button.
2. Perform the clicks and text entries you want to capture.
3. Tap **Stop recording** when the sequence is complete.
4. Use **Continue** if you want to append more steps, or **Restart** if you want to discard the current recording.
5. Set **Loops** and **Interval (s)** to control how many times HuBrowser replays the sequence.
6. Tap **Run** to test the recorded sequence immediately.
7. Tap **Save & edit** to store the sequence as a new automation and open it in the full automations editor.
## What happens when you save
- HuBrowser creates a new automation with the recorded steps.
- The saved flow opens in the full editor when that page can be opened automatically.
- You can then rename it, add triggers, or refine selectors before using it long term.
## Best fit
Record & Repeat works best for stable, repetitive page flows where you want predictable replay without writing code.
If a site changes often, use **Save & edit** and fine-tune the recorded automation instead of relying on the raw recording forever.
## โ๏ธ Adaptability meets predictability
As shown in demo videos, HuBrowser seamlessly blends three powerful modesโ**Natural Language Instructions** ๐ฃ๏ธ, **Recorded Actions** ๐ฌ, and **Coding Scripts** ๐ปโso you can fine-tune the balance between flexibility and control for every task.

- Long press the button to open the advanced settings panel.
- Choose whether translation should start automatically for each website.
:::

When you switch providers, the panel saves that choice and immediately restarts translation with the newly selected service.
## ๐ง Translation providers
### Google translate
Google Translate is the default provider.
- It is fast and works well for most websites.
- It is a good default choice for everyday page translation.
### SelfReason
SelfReason is HuBrowser's AI translation service.
- It requires `PRO` membership in the user-facing product.

# ๐ Reading mode
## Overview โจ
- Web pages can be noisy: intrusive ads, clashing colors, tiny fonts, messy layouts.
- Reader Mode extracts the main article content so you can focus on pure text. ๐ง
- Powered by a lightweight offline AI model (no cloud roundโtrip). ๐ค
- Designed for comfort, speed, and privacy.
## How to enable โถ๏ธ
1. Open a page with an article or long-form text.
2. Click the Reader Mode icon in the toolbar (or use the context menu if available).
3. Wait a moment while the offline model cleans & structures the content.
4. Customize the appearance and enjoy distractionโfree reading.
If the button is disabled or nothing happens, see Troubleshooting below.
## Customizations ๐จ
You can tailor the reading experience:
- Font size adjustments (make text larger or smaller).
- Background color / theme (e.g., light, sepia, dark, eyeโcare). ๐
- Line / sentence spacing for better readability.
- Letter spacing for accessibility and dyslexia-friendly viewing.
:::warning Limitations & Notes
- Some sites actively block content extraction (paywalls, script-heavy apps).
- Very short or fragment pages may yield no readable content.
- The AI model isn't 100% accurateโoccasional missing captions or code blocks can occur.
- Interactive widgets (forms, comments, embedded videos) are usually removed intentionally for focus.
:::
:::note Privacy & Performance
- Processing happens locally; raw page content isn't sent to remote servers.
- Lightweight model keeps CPU use modest; large pages may still take a second.
- Leaving Reader Mode restores the original page instantly.
:::
## Translation & availability ๐
- Translation feature is unavailable if you are in China.
- Outside restricted regions, you can translate extracted content (network connection required for translation, but reading extraction itself stays offline).

- **Unlimited multi-window multitasking** on mobile ๐ - thanks to the complete porting from the desktop browser
- **How to use:** Invoke by using the "split screen" feature on your device
- **How it's special:**
- Other browsers support at most 5 windows, but HuBrowser works without any limit due to its desktop engine port
- โ ๏ธ Exact support depends on your device and system version

:::tip
Did you know? Apps also use browser components.
Youโre already paying for your browserโjust not with cash. Public stats show ad revenue per browser user ranges from **$0.67** (UC Web), **$1.94** (Opera) to **$61.64** (Microsoft Edge) **every year** while we only charge a **one-time $1.99** for all the features and speed improvements!
:::
## Why HuBrowser is worth 1%+ of your income
What if you could reclaim just 1% of your time, energy, and mental clarity every day? HuBrowser is designed to do exactly thatโmaking everything you do online faster, more private, and less influenced by manipulative advertising and tracking.
- **Time is money**: Even a small boost in browsing speed and efficiency quickly adds up. Saving just a few minutes each day means hours gained every yearโtime you can spend on what truly matters.
- **Privacy is priceless**: Your data and attention are constantly targeted by political and commercial advertisers. HuBrowser blocks trackers and ads by default, shielding you from manipulation and helping you think clearly, free from hidden agendas.
- **Mental clarity**: By removing distractions and algorithmic nudges, HuBrowser helps you stay focused and make decisions based on your own goalsโnot someone elseโs profit motive.
- **A fair exchange**: For less than 1% of your income, you get a browser that works for youโnot against you. Unlike browsers funded by ads or data sales, HuBrowserโs user-funded model means your interests come first, always.
Investing 1% of your income in a tool that accelerates your work, protects your privacy, and supports your independent thinking is not just reasonableโitโs a smart, empowering choice for anyone who values their time and freedom.
***
Paying for a browser might sound unusualโafter all, most people never do. But hereโs the reality: โFreeโ browsers arenโt really free. You pay with your data, your time, and sometimes even your peace of mind.
- Sellers can charge you more based on what they know about you.
- Your device could run faster without all the hidden data collection.
- Most importantly, constant tracking can shape your thoughts and even affect your happiness.
Choosing to pay for a browser is about protecting your privacy, your time, and your well-being.
## How others make money
- Most "free" browsers generate revenue by:
- Selling your browsing data to advertisers
- Entering strategic partnership agreements
- Pushing affiliate marketing
- A few browsers are free passion-projects, but have many rough edges and eventually die out since browser development requires significant resources
- Both ad-supported and developer-funded models compromise user experience. The best browser for users should be paid for by users themselves.
## Everyday value, every click
- We all use โfreeโ services and trade some privacy for convenience. Thatโs normal! But privacy is a spectrumโyou deserve to choose your balance.
- Paying for a browser is a smart investment. Youโre online all the time, and your browser is always working for you, both in the foreground and background.
- Even a split-second speed boost in every action adds up to hours saved over weeks and months.
- The privacy and productivity benefits are real, even if theyโre subtle at first.
- Boost your productivity! ๐จโก Enjoy a faster, smoother experience with tools that make your life easier.
## Instant benefits, zero learning curve
- Most things you buy take time to learn. HuBrowser? Just install and enjoy the benefits right away.
- Itโs tough to control privacy risks from websites and devices, but you can take charge of your browser.
- Usually, you sacrifice convenience for privacy. With HuBrowser, you get both: strong privacy and more convenience!
## Our goals = your success
- When you pay for a browser, our only focus is making your experience amazingโno ads, no tracking, just pure performance.
- Our success depends on your satisfaction, not on selling your data.
- This creates a healthier, win-win relationship where improvements benefit everyone.
## Why browsers arenโt truly โfreeโ
- You can find great free apps, but browsers are different.
- Building a browser is thousands of times more complex than making a typical app:
- Browsers have millions of lines of code.
- Most apps have just thousands.
- A full browser can be bigger than the entire Android system!
- High-quality browsers are expensive to create. If youโre not paying with money, youโre paying with your personal data.
## Your data: more valuable than ever
- Your personal data is becoming more valuable every day. Youโll feed more data to your browserโand get more benefits from it.
- But if others control your data, it can be used against you.
- In the past, this meant more annoying ads or higher prices.
- Now, it means manipulation in ways you may not even notice.
- ๐คฏ With AI on the rise, the value (and risk) of your data is skyrocketing. Protect your privacy while enjoying premium features! ๐
- AI is shifting the balance of power between users and service providers. Who controls the data, wins.
- HuBrowser lets you enjoy the webโwithout giving up your data.
## Your gateway to the real internet
- Many people use only โappsโ on mobile, but those apps still rely on browser components. A better browser means a better experience everywhere.
- Only a browser gives you the full, open internet.
- Browsers are becoming more controlling:
- Extension systems are being restricted.
- Some sites are labeled โunsafeโ for political or commercial reasons.
## Browsers: the ultimate data collectors
Your information is collected in three main ways:
1. **Websites:**
- Highly specific, but only for a short time.
- Example: what you view, create, or click.
2. **Phones & Apps:**
- Generic info, collected constantly.
- Example: your location, device type.
3. **Browsers:**
- Highly specific, collected constantly.
Most people donโt realize: your browser is the one app that knows **everything** about you, all the time. Thatโs why so many โfreeโ browsers existโfunded by billions, but never truly free.
You can be tracked by:
- How you click
- How you scroll
- How you type
## Beyond VPNs: real privacy
- VPNs are helpful, but not enough:
- A VPN only hides your IP address.
- AI can still match โanonymousโ behavior to your real identity by analyzing how you move and scroll.
## Browsers: your strategic advantage in the AI era ๐ค
- Generative **AI** is changing everything.
- What will thrive as AI grows? **Browsers** are a rare strategic high ground in the AI era ๐ฐ:
- Individuals and companies will always need to connect to the internet.
- Browsers are the gateway.
- Browsers can quickly adopt and optimize the latest AI models.
- No matter how smart AI gets, it can still โhallucinateโโyou need independent thinking and direct access.
- AI can miss content; direct browsing is more complete.
- AI is a black box, shaped by interests and biases.
- Browsers let you access information your way, and always stay up to date.
If the internet is a giant library, browsers are the entrance, and AI is the librarian:
- No matter how smart the librarian, there are always gaps and biases.
- The librarian can fetch books, but itโs slower, with fewer choices, and you may not get exactly what you want.
- You still need a door to enter the library.
- With other browsers, you might face lines, ID checks, or restrictions.
- With **HuBrowser**, you can **freely enter and exit** the libraryโand even bring your own personal AI librarian! ๐

:::tip ๐ Browser Reality Check
There are many browsers, but most of them just change skins without architectural innovation.
Real browsers are rare. They are complex and expensive to make, and Chrome Browser's dominance means few investors are willing to invest in new browsers.
:::
## ๐ Why HuBrowser is the best browser
๐ Why HuBrowser Is The Best Browser
## ๐ข Category 1: large browser vendors
- **Examples:** Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Microsoft Edge, etc.
- โ
They have large teams and significant resources.
- โ ๏ธ Their commercial interests and high costs force them to collect lots of data and arrange features in ways that may not benefit the user. Unique features or a truly clean digital experience are rare.
- ๐ป They focus on desktop versions and devote limited resources to port weaker, less optimized versions to mobile.
## ๐ฆ Category 2: browser "wrappers"
- **Examples:** VIA, X, Arc, etc.
- ๐ง Most non-big-tech browsers fall into this category.
- ๐ญ They are thin "wrappers" around the built-in browser.
- โ ๏ธ The wrapping is written in less efficient languages (JavaScript, Java, Swift, etc.), making development easier but the browser inherently slower.
- ๐ฆ They lack a browser engine, so they are \<100MB and advertised as "lightweight," but small size doesn't mean faster or less data collection.
- ๐ Due to Apple's policy, all browsers on iPhone can only be "wrappers" of the weak Safari engine.
- โก Weaker functionality.
## ๐ Category 3: HuBrowser
- **The reason HuBrowser was created:** there's none like it.
- ๐ช Full-powered browser.
- โค๏ธ Fully dedicated to the user.
- ๐ค Fully optimized for Android.
- ๐ง **Native AI Agent:** Unlike other browsers, HuBrowser includes [Parrot Assistant](/guide/features/parrot-assistant/agent/comparison.md) for intelligent browsing.

# How ๐ fast is HuBrowser?
**Related:** [Why pay for a browser?](/guide/how/browser-importance.md) | [Feature List](/guide/basics/why.md) | [Dynamic Bookmarks](/guide/features/dynamic-bookmarks.md)
:::tip โก Speed First
Speed is HuBrowser's top priority. We're designed to be the fastest browser on the market.
Every decision is made with speed in mind. While this means some compromises on features and design, you can always install multiple browsers for different needs.
We click countless times on screens in our lives. HuBrowser makes each click โก faster.
:::
## ๐๏ธ Fast baseline
- **๐ง Based on the Chromium engine, a fast baseline**
- Google has optimized it for years, with diminishing improvements recently
- **๐งน Removed bloat from browser engine**
- ๐ซ Carefully removed tracking:
- Behavioral tracking, sentiment analysis, shopping logs, etc.
- โ๏ธ Carefully removed bloat:
- Compatibility support for obsolete devices
- Disabled enterprise features
- **๐ Removed debugging code**
- Unconventional approach since crashes are now unreported and we can't establish exact error context, but this significantly speeds things up by eliminating stack trace logging
- ๐ฌ Please reach out if you experience any crashes
- **๐ก๏ธ Smart ad blocking**
- Balanced approachโnot too aggressive to ensure net speed boost while avoiding website breakage
## ๐ป Code improvements
- **โก Pure 64-bit build**
- All modern phones are 64-bit capable
- **๐ Rewrote critical components in more efficient languages**
- JavaScript โ Java โ C++ (performance optimization chain)
- **๐ง Enhanced memory, power, and lifecycle management**
- Specifically optimized for Android browser performance
- **๐ฏ Holistic project management**
- Unlike large tech projects that divide browsers into hundreds of specialized components, HuBrowser takes a unified approach
- This enables meaningful cross-component optimizations and architectural improvements that span the entire system
## ๐ Smart link redirect
:::info ๐ก Real Example
Clicking [this link ](https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description\&redir_token=QUFFLUhqazl3S3ppQjNTNDV1d3l3U1dzeWNMb0hncWdvZ3xBQ3Jtc0trTFNwdGFiVElaZ1BkNzRWLTBYanF3QUlOckhWdGE0WEp6ZXdSWThLSjVhVHh0dWVRMlhyR0JaU0c2LXNTMEhmV092eVdreG16cDhQcnZibWJlYzl0WXEySmJfazd4YzFKLUNtd2Y0VmpjNXhiMGdIWQ\&q=https%3A%2F%2Fhubrowser.com) in a YouTube post normally shows YouTube's confirmation page. But HuBrowser takes you directly to the destinationโno extra steps, no waiting! โก
:::
- ๐ง By intelligently analyzing various elements (URL, website elements, address book, DNS, etc.), HuBrowser directly reaches the target server, skipping these time-wasting intermediate steps:
- โ "Confirm if you want to open this link" pages (websites use these to increase retention time)
- โธ๏ธ Short pauses on third-party links (for ad calculations and data collection)
- ๐ Gateway redirects (jumping to regional servers like .com โ .cn, adding/removing www, etc.)
- ๐ **Preloading and prerendering** make direct link access even faster
- ๐ฐ HuBrowser achieves this through both **technical innovation** and **business model innovation**. As a paid browser, we don't need to sell your data to intermediariesโso we can skip them entirely and go straight to your destination!
## ๐ฏ Feel the speed
- ๐ค **The best way to experience HuBrowser's speed is to try it yourself!** Open the same link side by side with HuBrowser and any other browser.
- ๐ฑ **QR Code Scanning Speed Test:** See how fast HuBrowser opens a link with QR scan (3 seconds vs. 5 seconds in Chrome/QQ Browser):

# How ๐ช powerful is HuBrowser?
:::tip
There are too many features to list each one. We will highlight some in the website, but you can find more in the app yourself.
For a bullet list of some of them, see [Why Choose HuBrowser](/guide/basics/why.md)
Deep dive into important unique features, starting from [Dynamic Bookmarks](/guide/features/dynamic-bookmarks.md)
:::
- Fully ported desktop browser with all its capabilities.
- The only way to run an unlimited number of windows side-by-side on Android:
- Especially useful for tablets.
- While phone manufacturers and other browsers support 2-5 windows with various tricks, HuBrowser natively supports unlimited windows ๐.
- Full support for extensions and web app systems ๐งฉ.
- HuBrowser is a true operating system for freedom since you can easily write software (web app or extension) and distribute/install them without our knowledge or permission. All other operating systems like Windows, iOS, Firefox etc. are tightening up with "certifications"
- Built-in ad blocker ๐ก๏ธ:
- Fast, written in native C++ code โก.
- You are free to use other ad-blocking apps and extensions, but it is suggested not to, as they are less efficient (written in JavaScript or Java with more messaging overhead since they are not integrated).
- Easy translation ๐.
- Easy reader mode ๐.
- Specifically made for Android ๐ฑ.
## Background play any webpage! ๐ต
- Continue playing videos using other apps or when screen is off, a unique feature since we are fully ported from the desktop browser ๐บ.
- Saves you YouTube Premium and Spotify subscription costs ๐ฐ.
- Play audio from webpages even when the screen is off ๐.
- Smart battery optimization ensures minimal power consumption during background playback ๐.
Background Play Demo
## Never lose important content again! ๐
- Normally, when you copy information from the internet, you only copy a link to the original asset (video, picture, or text) ๐.
- When you save that in your notes or share it with others, they may see a broken link because that asset can become unavailable at any time โ ๏ธ.
- HuBrowser always tries to intelligently retrieve any broken assets for you using a variety of strategies ๐.
- When you copy or share content, HuBrowser uses the actual content when it makes sense ๐.
- For example, when you copy an article to Notion notes, HuBrowser copies the actual images instead of just links to them ๐ผ๏ธ.
## Smart asset recovery ๐
- Webpages, videos, or images sometimes fail to load? No problem! We've got you covered.
- Our innovative recovery methods include:
- ๐ง Intelligent link repair (fixing missing slashes or extra characters)
- ๐ก๏ธ Referer header adjustment (bypassing bot detection blocks)
- ๐ Alternative CDN routing (when primary servers are down)
- ๐พ Local cache recovery (accessing content you've previously visited)
- ๐ Internet Archive integration (retrieving preserved versions of content)
- โจ And many more smart recovery techniques

# ๐ HuBrowser: the only 0-tracking browser ๐ซ๐
How Browsers Track You (30s)
:::tip User trust is our foundation ๐ค
HuBrowser's paid version never collects any data! ๐ก๏ธ
We protect the most scarce resource in the AI era โ private data.
As AI develops, the value of your personal data will skyrocket ๐, and the gap between HuBrowser and other "free browsers" that sell data will only grow wider.
:::
:::warning Clarification โ ๏ธ
While HuBrowser itself performs zero tracking, the websites you visit may still collect your data. HuBrowser comes with basic protection, but the interaction between you and the websites remains your decision. ๐ต๏ธโโ๏ธ
The 0-tracking promise applies to everyday use. AI features may involve data collection.
:::
## Technical proof ๐งโ๐ฌ
Verifying our 0-tracking claim is simple: an app either transmits data or it doesn't. You can independently confirm this without tech knowledge and see how other browsers track you ๐.
These verification methods fall into two main categories:
### 1. Package analysis ๐ฆ๐
:::tip
The tools we recommend are just examples. They are easy to use and unaffiliated with HuBrowser. Feel free to explore other options that suit your needs! ๐งฐ
:::
| **Tool:** [Warden](https://gitlab.com/AuroraOSS/AppWarden/-/releases) ๐ต๏ธโโ๏ธ | **Tool:** [AppManager](https://github.com/MuntashirAkon/AppManager) ๐ ๏ธ |
| :--------------------------------------------------------------------------: | :---------------------------------------------------------------------: |
| **Demo:** [Edge Video](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Q8qMtp2Wwek) โถ๏ธ | **Demo:** [Opera Video](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/uJIJzagV-cs) โถ๏ธ |
Screenshot showing HuBrowser is clean:
| | |
| :-------------------------------------------------------------------------: | :-----------------------------------------------------------------------------: |
- For experts:
- There's a "tracing" feature exposed in Settings. ๐งโ๐ป
- HuBrowser chose not to use the "Integrity API", obfuscation, encryption-shell and similar features. This keeps our app lightning fast โก and easy for you to inspect ๐, at the cost of weaker IP protection. Consider this our commitment to transparency! ๐
### 2. Network analysis ๐๐ก
:::tip
We highly recommend our Middle Monitor to watch and speed up all your network traffic! ๐ฆ See exactly what every app is doing online, instantly. Just open the app and watch real-time trafficโno tech skills needed! [Free Download](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=middle.monitor) ๐ฒ
:::
- Monitor traffic on your device or network router. ๐ฅ๏ธ๐ฑ
- These tools show which app sends data, how much, when, and to which IP address. ๐บ๏ธ
- In corporate environments, your network administrator can assist. We gladly support institutional clients through their audit process. ๐ข๐ค
## Why trust HuBrowser? ๐ค๐ก
- **Google Play**
- Publishing on Google Play means Google screens apps for malicious or deceptive behavior. Our app page shows we are one of the few browsers committed to the Play Families Policy, prohibiting personal data collection and holding us legally accountable. โ
- Google has insight into our app's internals and operates the Chrome browser itself. ๐ข
- **Transparent Team**
- We maintain active social profiles across multiple platforms, so you know exactly who we are and how to reach us. ๐
- Our founder is a Singapore programming champion and former Google engineer. ๐
- **Sustainable Business Model**
- Our paid model aligns our success directly with user satisfaction and privacy, unlike free browsers often funded by data collection. We focus on building the best product, not maximizing data extraction. ๐ธ๐ซ
- **Verify Our Claims**
- We encourage knowledgeable friends or experts to examine our app and confirm our zero-tracking commitment. ๐ต๏ธโโ๏ธ
## What about other browsers? ๐คทโโ๏ธ
- There are many good browsers and you are free to keep several on device. We just want to point out other browsers are not as "private" as they claim to be. ๐ง
- Most other browsers constantly record your scrolls, clicks, and interactions. ๐
- We have tested hundreds of browsers and regularly test new ones ๐.
- Most sell your data to advertisers. They promise "good handling" of the data, but their terms of service can change anytime. ๐ผ
- A few options claim to disconnect data collection (e.g., ungoogled-chromium, Waterfox, Cromite), but the underlying data _recording_ still occurs within the browser engine itself. ๐๏ธ
- Browser engines (like Chromium, Gecko) have built-in mechanisms that log your actions locally, often storing them in temporary files. Even if this data isn't always uploaded, the act of recording impacts performance and battery life. ๐
- Removing these deeply integrated recording mechanisms requires significant engineering effort across millions of lines of code. HuBrowser is the only browser that has undertaken this complex task to eliminate them completely, ensuring true privacy at the core. ๐งฉ

**A Note on Crash Reporting:** Currently, HuBrowser does not collect crash reports. This means we don't even know if the app crashes for you ๐. While unconventional (standard practice is to log operations for debugging), it aligns with our zero-tracking policy and offers a slight performance boost. We may reintroduce opt-in crash reporting in the future with clear communication. If you experience a crash, please let us know! ๐ ๏ธ

# HuBrowser vs firefox for android
> Firefox is one of the most recognized browsers. But how does it hold up against HuBrowser on Android?
**Related:** [Browser Comparison Overview](/guide/how/comparison.md) | [How Fast is HuBrowser?](/guide/how/fast.md) | [Privacy](/guide/how/private.md)
## ๐ Quick summary
| Feature | HuBrowser | Firefox for Android |
| ------------------------- | ----------------------- | ---------------------------- |
| Engine | Chromium (optimized) | Gecko |
| Zero tracking | โ
Built-in, verified | โ ๏ธ Some telemetry by default |
| Native AI Agent | โ
Parrot Assistant | โ None |
| Android optimization | โ
Designed for Android | โ ๏ธ Ported from desktop |
| Built-in ad blocking | โ
Smart, balanced | โ ๏ธ Add-on required |
| App size | Compact, no bloat | Larger footprint |
| Pure 64-bit Android build | โ
Yes | โ No |
| Open source | โ | โ
|
| Price | Free + optional premium | Free |
## ๐๏ธ Speed
Firefox uses the **Gecko engine**, an independent engine maintained by Mozilla. While respectable on desktop, it does not benefit from the years of mobile-specific Chromium optimizations baked into Android's hardware and OS stack.
HuBrowser is built on **Chromium** โ the same engine powering Chrome and Edge โ but with:
- ๐งน Bloat and telemetry removed
- โก Pure 64-bit build for modern Android hardware
- ๐ง Custom memory and lifecycle management for mobile
- ๐ Critical paths rewritten in lower-level languages for speed
Result: HuBrowser launches faster and stays responsive under heavy tab loads.
## ๐ Privacy
Both browsers market themselves as privacy-first, but the details differ:
- **Firefox** collects crash reports and usage telemetry by default (adjustable in settings). It also syncs data to Mozilla's servers if you use a Firefox account.
- **HuBrowser** collects **zero behavioral tracking data**. There is no account sync, no telemetry, no behavioral analysis. What you browse stays on your device.
:::tip Zero Tracking, by Design
HuBrowser was built from the ground up with no tracking infrastructure. It's not a setting you toggle โ it simply has no code to track you.
:::
## ๐ค AI features
Firefox has no native AI assistant built in.
HuBrowser includes **[Parrot Assistant](/guide/features/parrot-assistant/agent.md)** โ a native AI agent that:
- ๐ Reads and summarizes web pages
- ๐ Researches across multiple tabs

# H Browser vs HuBrowser
HuBrowser and H Browser solve different problems. This page compares a private Android AI browser with an antidetect desktop browser, so you can choose the product that fits your actual use case.
**H Browser** markets itself as an antidetect browser โ built for "high-stakes operations" with fingerprint spoofing, isolated profiles, and cloud synchronization.
**HuBrowser** is something different: a full-powered everyday Android browser with zero tracking, a native AI agent, and Chromium speed optimized for mobile.
These are two products aimed at very different users. Here's how they compare.
**Related:** [Browser Comparison Overview](/guide/how/comparison.md) | [Privacy](/guide/how/private.md) | [AI Agent](/guide/features/parrot-assistant/agent.md)
## ๐ Side-by-Side comparison
| Feature | HuBrowser | H Browser |
| -------------------- | ---------------------------------- | ------------------------------------ |
| Primary use case | Everyday browsing, privacy | Antidetect / multi-account ops |
| Platform | Android | Desktop (Windows/Mac) |
| Engine | Chromium (optimized) | Chromium |

## ๐ฏ Different tools, different users
**H Browser** is designed for professionals running multiple accounts simultaneously โ marketers, researchers, or anyone who needs isolated browser identities. The fingerprint spoofing and profile isolation are purpose-built for that workflow.
**HuBrowser** is built for people who want a **genuinely private everyday browser** on Android:
- โ
Zero tracking โ no telemetry, no behavioral data, ever
- โ
Native AI agent built into the browser
- โ
Android-first performance, not a desktop port
- โ
Smart ad blocking out of the box
## ๐ "Privacy" vs antidetect: not the same thing
Antidetect browsers focus on _hiding your identity from websites_ โ spoofing browser fingerprints to avoid cross-site tracking across multiple accounts.
HuBrowser focuses on _keeping your data off servers entirely_ โ there's no account, no sync, no telemetry pipeline. Your browsing stays on your device by architecture, not configuration.
:::tip Two different goals
- **Antidetect** = appear as different users to websites
- **Zero-tracking** = your data never leaves your device
If you want an everyday private browser for Android, HuBrowser is built for you. If you need multi-account browser isolation for professional operations, H Browser is a specialized desktop tool for that.
:::
## ๐ค What HuBrowser offers instead
While H Browser focuses on identity management, HuBrowser brings AI to your browsing:
[Parrot Assistant](/guide/features/parrot-assistant/agent.md) is a native AI agent that:
- Reads and summarizes pages without leaving the app
- Searches across tabs on your behalf
- Helps you research and generate content
No extension, no API key required โ it's built into the browser.
## ๐ฅ Try HuBrowser
:::tip Free to download
No account. No cloud sync. No tracking. Just fast, private, AI-powered browsing on Android.

### ๐ด Level 3: confusion mode
- Serve misleading or incomplete data to agents.
- Inject honeypot elements and fake links.
- Randomize element selectors and page structure.
- Add CAPTCHA challenges at key points.
**Use case:** Waste agent resources and make results unreliable.
### โซ Level 4: block mode
- Fully block detected automation accounts.
- Implement IPโbased restrictions.
- Trigger multiโfactor authentication requirements.
- Revoke API access for suspicious patterns.
**Use case:** Zeroโtolerance protection for sensitive applications.
## ๐ผ Real-World applications
### E-commerce protection
Prevent priceโscraping bots and automated bulk purchasing that disrupt inventory and pricing strategies.
### Content security
Protect premium content from unauthorized AI training data collection and automated republishing.

# SelfReason AI gateway
SelfReason AI Gateway gives teams a unified model access layer across local AI, cloud models, and multi-provider deployments.
## Why this gateway exists
- One OpenAI-compatible surface instead of separate local and cloud integrations
- Local-first routing so private and latency-sensitive requests stay close to the user
- We use this same gateway in our client apps across Web, Desktop, Android, extensions, and bots
- Shared sessions, prompts, tools, and schemas across Web, Desktop, Android, extensions, and bots
- Fallback policies so one model outage does not become your product outage
- A cleaner path for products already built around SelfReason workflows
## What you get
### Flexible routing
- `local`: force SelfReason's on-device runtime
- `auto`: try local first, then escalate only when limits or quality thresholds require it
- `cloud`: go directly to hosted models for the largest context windows or strongest reasoning
- `fallback`: define backup models or providers for reliability-sensitive flows
### One contract across execution modes
- OpenAI-compatible chat completion patterns
- Real-time streaming for chat, summarization, and agent UX
- Tool calling for workflow actions, database lookups, and API orchestration
- Automation API powered by [Universal Automation Protocol (UAP)](/guide/features/parrot-assistant/agent/protocol.md)
- Structured outputs for typed JSON responses
- Shared observability for latency, safety actions, and route decisions
## A practical integration shape
The gateway is designed to feel familiar if you already use modern AI SDK patterns. The exact base URL, models, and policy fields depend on your deployment, but the request pattern stays consistent:
```python
from selfreason import AIClient
client = AIClient(
api_key='YOUR_SELFREASON_KEY',
base_url='https://YOUR_GATEWAY_BASE/v1'
)
stream = client.responses.stream(
model='auto',
messages=[
{'role': 'system', 'content': 'You are a concise assistant.'},
{'role': 'user', 'content': 'Summarize this ticket and suggest next steps.'},
],
route='auto',
fallbacks=[
{'model': 'cloud-balanced'}
],
metadata={
'app': 'support-dashboard'
}
)
for event in stream:
if event.type == 'token':
print(event.text, end='')
```
## Why it differs from a generic LLM proxy
- The gateway is designed around SelfReason's local runtime, not just cloud-to-cloud rerouting
- You can keep one application contract even when requests move between device and cloud
- Route decisions can factor prompt size, safety posture, device capability, energy state, and user quality overrides
- It fits naturally with SelfReason sessions, prompts, and browser-native tooling instead of bolting on another isolated proxy layer
## Pick the right path
- Start here if you need routing, fallbacks, streaming, and a shared app contract
- Read [SelfReason on-device API](/guide/solutions/api-gateway/local.md) if your main concern is on-device inference, offline behavior, and model warm-up strategy
- Explore [SelfReason](/guide/ecosystem/selfreason/index.md) if you want to see the local runtime in a product-facing form
## Build with confidence
- Keep privacy-sensitive work local by default
- Escalate only when larger context or stronger reasoning is worth the tradeoff
- Use fallbacks to turn provider outages into policy decisions instead of user-visible failures

# SelfReason on-device API
For apps that want the fastest path and the strongest privacy posture, the local API runs directly against SelfReason-compatible on-device models. That makes it a strong fit for classification, rewriting, moderation, summarization, and lightweight agent tasks that should stay on the device.
## What local execution is good at
- Fast text classification and tagging
- Draft rewriting for tone, clarity, and length
- Summaries, highlights, and TL;DR generation
- Language detection and lightweight translation flows
- Safety prechecks, redaction, and policy hints before anything leaves the device
- Offline or unstable-network workflows
## How local execution works
1. Download the model bundle during setup or idle time.
2. Bind the runtime to browser or app APIs.
3. Run inference locally with no extra network hop.
4. Stream tokens or structured results back to the caller.
## Local-first design principles
- Privacy first: keep sensitive text on-device whenever possible
- Fast response times: remove network latency from the common path
- Progressive enhancement: degrade to lighter heuristics when a model is unavailable
- Sandboxed execution: keep memory and capability boundaries tight
- Explicit escalation: let the gateway decide when a request should leave the local path
## Where the local API fits best
### Great matches
- Intent classification before tool execution
- UI rewriting, inline drafting, and response cleanup
- Article, chat, and ticket summarization
- Personal workflows that must work offline
- Mobile or extension experiences where privacy is a product feature
### Less ideal matches
- Very large prompts that exceed the local context window
- Heavy multi-step reasoning that benefits from larger cloud models
- Tasks that require centralized audit trails or strict hosted governance
## Deployment notes
- Web: lazy-load models after first idle and cache with a versioned checksum
- Desktop: ship a warm local runtime for lower cold-start cost
- Android: deliver larger model assets as optional downloads and verify hashes before activation
- Extension: persist model assets carefully and validate integrity after updates
## Local observability
- Token usage per request and per session
- Warm start versus cold start latency
- Guardrail trigger counts and categories
- Route reason codes when a request leaves the local path
## Common local error classes
- `MODEL_UNAVAILABLE`: the model is missing or not ready yet
- `LIMIT_CONTEXT`: the prompt is too large for the current local window
- `SAFETY_BLOCK`: local guardrails flagged the output or intermediate content
- `DEVICE_CAPACITY`: the current device cannot safely run the selected model tier
## Performance tips
- Preload during idle time instead of waiting for the first user action
- Stream tokens early to improve perceived responsiveness
- Chunk large documents and summarize in stages
- Compress older context before it crowds out the active window
- Keep frequently used models warm ahead of peak usage periods
## Related docs
- Read [SelfReason AI Gateway](/guide/solutions/api-gateway.md) for routing, fallbacks, and the shared contract
- Explore [SelfReason](/guide/ecosystem/selfreason/index.md) for the product experience built on the same local-first ideas
Need more than local execution alone? Pair this API with the gateway layer when you need cloud escalation, provider redundancy, or stricter orchestration controls.

# Why most AI agents are a security RiskโAnd how HuBrowser protects you
The rapid rise of browser-based AI agents brings not just innovation, but also a wave of new cybersecurity threats. Most AI agents on the market today expose users to serious risksโoften without their knowledge:
- **Prompt injection attacks** that manipulate AI behavior
- **Credential leaks** and unauthorized data exfiltration
- **Continuous surveillance** and third-party tracking
- **Unrestricted server communication**โeven on sensitive pages
**Why is this happening?**
Most AI agents rely on cloud-based processing, sending your dataโincluding private prompts, credentials, and browsing activityโto remote servers. Many lack robust validation, sandboxing, or privacy controls, making them easy targets for attackers and data harvesters.
## ๐ HuBrowser: the secure AI agent alternative
**HuBrowser** was built from the ground up to be private and secure, using a **dual-mode security architecture** that sets a new standard for agentic AI safety:
### ๐ True Offline-First security
- **SelfReason Local AI**: All sensitive data is processed on your deviceโnever sent to the cloud
- **Zero data transmission** for core AI operations, guaranteeing privacy
- **Isolated execution**: Each web context is sandboxed, blocking cross-site contamination
### ๐ก๏ธ Hardened cloud integration (when needed)
- **Advanced prompt injection shields**: Multi-layered validation before any cloud interaction
- **Real-time threat detection**: Automatic fallback to local AI if risks are detected
- **End-to-end encryption** with certificate pinning for all external communication
The integration of **Agentic Artificial Intelligence** into web browsers represents a paradigm shift in how users interact with digital environments, fundamentally transforming browsers from passive content consumers into **autonomous decision-making platforms**. This technological evolution, while promising unprecedented productivity gains, introduces a complex constellation of cybersecurity challenges that demand immediate attention from the security community.
## ๐ฏ Summary
**Agentic AI systems** embedded within web browsers exhibit **autonomous behavior patterns** that transcend traditional security boundaries. These systems can independently navigate websites, extract sensitive information, execute transactions, and interact with multiple web services simultaneouslyโcapabilities that create an **unprecedented attack surface** for malicious actors.
| **Critical Risk Factor** | **Impact Level** | **Prevalence** | **Mitigation Complexity** |
| -------------------------- | ---------------- | ---------------------- | ------------------------- |
| _Prompt Injection Attacks_ | **๐ด Critical** | **86% ASR** | **High** |
| _Credential Leakage_ | **๐ด Critical** | **70% ASR** | **Medium** |
| _Data Exfiltration_ | **๐ High** | **42.9% ASR** | **High** |
| _Tool Misuse_ | **๐ High** | **92.5% Attempt Rate** | **Medium** |
## The agentic AI browser ecosystem
**Browser-integrated AI agents** represent a fundamental departure from traditional web interaction models. Unlike conventional browser extensions that operate with limited scope, these systems possess **multi-modal capabilities** including:
- **๐ Autonomous Web Navigation**: Independent browsing and information gathering
- **๐ Form Processing**: Automatic completion of sensitive user data
- **๐ณ Transaction Execution**: Direct financial and commercial operations
- **๐ Credential Management**: Access to stored authentication tokens
- **๐ Cross-Site Data Correlation**: Aggregation of user behavior patterns

```
**Research demonstrates** that these agents largely depend on **server-side APIs** rather than local processing, creating additional privacy and security vulnerabilities as they auto-invoke without explicit user interaction.
## โ ๏ธ Prompt injection: the primary attack vector
## Direct vs. indirect injection mechanisms
**Prompt injection attacks** represent the most **versatile and potent threat** against browser-based AI agents. The attack surface encompasses both **direct manipulation** through user input and **indirect exploitation** via compromised web content.
| **Attack Type** | **Vector** | **Success Rate** | **Detection Difficulty** |
| --------------------------- | --------------------------- | ------------------ | ------------------------ |
| **Direct Injection** | _User Input_ | **High** | **Medium** |
| **Indirect Injection** | _Web Content_ | **Up to 86%** | **High** |
| **Environmental Injection** | _Compromised Websites_ | **70% PII Theft** | **Very High** |
| **Cross-Modal Injection** | _Hidden Image Instructions_ | **Under Research** | **Critical** |
## Advanced injection techniques
**Environmental Injection Attacks (EIA)** represent a particularly sophisticated threat vector where malicious content is strategically embedded within legitimate websites to exploit visiting AI agents. These attacks achieve:
- **70% success rate** in stealing specific Personal Identifiable Information (PII)
- **16% success rate** for complete user request exfiltration
- **High stealth characteristics** making detection extremely challenging
```mermaid

Website->>Agent: Return content with hidden injection
Note over Agent: AI processes malicious instructions
Agent->>Attacker: Exfiltrate sensitive data
Agent->>User: Return seemingly normal response
```
**Medical AI agents** demonstrate particular vulnerability, with **reasoning models like DeepSeek-R1** showing the highest susceptibility to cyber attacks through adversarial web content.
## ๐ก๏ธ Comprehensive threat landscape
## Browser-Specific vulnerabilities
**Browser-integrated AI agents** face unique security challenges that extend beyond traditional web application threats:
### ๐ Credential and session hijacking
- **Service token exposure** leading to impersonation attacks
- **Authentication bypass** through agent credential theft
- **Cross-domain privilege escalation** via compromised agents
### ๐ฑ Device and network compromise
- **Arbitrary code execution** through unsecured interpreters
- **Host resource access** beyond intended sandbox boundaries
- **Network infiltration** via compromised agent communications
### ๐ต๏ธ Privacy and data leakage
- **Full HTML DOM extraction** including sensitive form inputs
- **Cross-site behavior correlation** for user profiling
- **Automatic data sharing** with third-party analytics platforms
## Multi-Agent system exploitation
**Human attacks on multi-agent systems** exploit inter-agent trust relationships to achieve **privilege escalation** and **operational manipulation**. Adversaries leverage:
- **Inter-agent delegation vulnerabilities**
- **Trust relationship exploitation**
- **Coordinated multi-agent manipulation campaigns**
## Real-World attack scenarios
## Case study: browser extension compromise
Many popular "AI agent" browser extensions are security nightmares. Lacking the browser expertise, most simply glue together cloud AI calls and aggressive data collection, prioritizing hype over user safety.
**Research analysis** of the 10 most popular Gen-AI browser assistant extensions reveals systemic, high-impact security failures:
```mermaid
pie title AI Agent Data Leak
"Full HTML DOM" : 40
"Form Input Data" : 25
"User Prompts" : 20
"Third-Party Tracking" : 15
```
**Key findings include:**
- **Continuous data collection** even on sensitive pages (healthcare, financial)
- **Automatic server communication** without user consent
- **Third-party tracker integration** including Google Analytics
- **Cross-context profile persistence** enabling comprehensive user surveillance
## Adversarial testing results
**Comprehensive benchmarking** using frameworks like **WASP** (Web Agent Security against Prompt injection attacks) and demonstrates alarming vulnerability rates:
| **AI Model/Agent** | **Attack Success Rate (ASR)** | **Attempt Rate** | **Vulnerability Type** |
| ------------------- | ----------------------------- | ---------------- | -------------------------- |
| **Gemini 2.5 Pro** | **42.9%** | **92.5%** | _Indirect Injection_ |
| **OpenAI Operator** | **7.6%** | **High** | _Prompt Manipulation_ |
| **Claude 4 Opus** | **48%** | **High** | _Hybrid Web-OS Attacks_ |
| **GPT-4.1** | **Up to 86%** | **85%** | _General Prompt Injection_ |
## Defense mechanisms and mitigation strategies
## Multi-Layered security framework
**No single mitigation strategy proves sufficient** against the diverse threat landscape. Effective defense requires a **comprehensive, layered approach**:
### Prompt-Level defenses
- **Prompt Analysis** with advanced ML-based detection algorithms
- **Spotlighting techniques** to distinguish system instructions from external content
- **Delimiter and datamarking** implementations for content boundaries
- **Semantic filtering** and content sanitization protocols
### System-Level protections
- **Sandboxing with network restrictions** and syscall filtering
- **Least-privilege container configurations** for agent execution
- **Strong access controls** and privilege management systems
- **Real-time monitoring** and anomaly detection frameworks
### Advanced detection systems

# HuBrowser enterprise security features
HuBrowser Enterprise delivers advanced browser detection and response capabilities to protect your organization from modern web threats and data risks. Key areas include:
## Why choose HuBrowser over "security extensions"?
Recently, some startups have launched so-called "security extensions" for enterprise protection. However, browser extensions alone have very limited capabilitiesโthey are slow, cannot intercept all browser events, are unable to enforce organization-wide policies, and cannot fully access or secure the browser environment, leaving critical gaps in protection. HuBrowser delivers a complete, purpose-built browser solution that goes far beyond what extensions can offer.
In addition, our advanced router software, **Middle Monitor**, provides powerful network-level monitoring and safeguards, ensuring your organizationโs security from both the browser and the network edge.
## Web attack detection & mitigation
- **Identity Attacks:**
- **SSO hijacks:** Compromising Single Sign-On systems to gain unauthorized access to multiple services.
- **Shadow SaaS:** Use of unauthorized cloud applications by employees, creating security blind spots.
- **AitM (Adversary-in-the-Middle):** Attackers intercept and manipulate communications to steal credentials.
- **Browser-in-the-browser (BitB):** Phishing technique that mimics browser windows to trick users into entering sensitive information.
- **Impersonation attacks:** Attackers pretend to be trusted users or services to gain access or information.
- **Malicious Sites & Scripts:**
- **Spear phishing:** Highly targeted phishing attacks aimed at specific individuals or organizations.
- **Trusted domain abuse:** Exploiting reputable domains to deliver malicious content.
- **Execution hijack:** Taking control of legitimate processes to run malicious code.
- **Malicious QR codes:** QR codes that direct users to harmful sites or trigger unwanted actions.
- **Reassembly Attacks:**
- **Malicious WebAssembly:** Using WebAssembly code to bypass browser security controls.
- **Canvas rewrite:** Manipulating browser canvas elements for malicious purposes.
- **Covert channels:** Hidden methods for transferring data to evade detection.
- **Embedding attacks:** Inserting malicious content within legitimate web resources.
- **Browser Extensions:**
- **Malicious extensions:** Browser add-ons designed to steal data or compromise security.

# SelfReason web index: A search engine built for AI
Teams connecting AI workflows to the open web usually run into the same set of problems:
- traditional search results are built for human reading, not model consumption
- web pages are noisy and expensive to pass through directly
- many useful pages require clicking, scrolling, or authentication before the real data appears
SelfReason Web Index provides a unified layer for search, access, extraction, and transformation so open-web content can move cleanly into reasoning pipelines.
:::warning If you own a website or mobile app
If you want to manage or block crawler access to your site, see:
[HuBrowser Agent Blocker (Blocking & Protection Guide)](/guide/solutions/agent-blocker/index.md)
That page covers how to detect automated traffic, configure different protection levels, and restrict crawling without impacting real user experience.
:::
## Why?
- The AI era demands machine-first search and indexing โ not just page rankings designed for human clicks.
- Crawling alone isn't enough. You also need structured extraction, real-time updates, low latency, and interactive capabilities.
- A system that's truly production-ready must handle accuracy, token cost, crawl coverage, and compliance governance within a single engineering framework.
## Core capabilities of SelfReason web index
### 1. Search + crawl + scrape + interact โ all in one
- A unified invocation pipeline covering search, webpage scraping, site-level crawling, and dynamic page interaction.
- For pages requiring clicks, scrolling, pagination, or form interactions, agents can execute the full interaction flow.
- Upgrades from "reading web pages" to "letting agents use web pages."
### 2. LLM-Ready structured output
- Output goes beyond URLs and raw HTML โ results arrive as directly consumable Markdown, JSON, and schema-structured data.
- Supports semantic extraction and field-level structuring, reducing downstream prompt cleanup overhead.
- Results carry source metadata for easy verification and auditing.
### 3. High-Quality index with Real-Time balance
- Prioritizes building high-quality indexes for high-value domains instead of accumulating low-efficiency bulk data.
- Combines on-demand crawling with intelligent caching to maintain a controllable balance between freshness and cost.
- Provides stable timeliness for AI research and continuous agent invocation scenarios.
### 4. Low latency and token efficiency for agents
- Reduces unnecessary token consumption through result summarization, reranking, and structured trimming.
- Lowers the context burden per agent step and improves end-to-end response speed.
- Moves "usable" from demo to production-ready workflows.
### 5. High-Intensity crawling and data governance
- Supports complex site crawling, dynamic rendering, and high-concurrency scheduling โ covering high-barrier data sources.
- Supports explicit crawler identification, throttling policies, and auditable logs for enterprise-level governance and risk control.
- Provides a pragmatic engineering balance between crawl capability, availability, and data sovereignty.
## How SelfReason addresses industry pain points
Common industry challenges: strong anti-bot defenses, messy data, latency sensitivity, high cost, and complex compliance.
SelfReason Web Index's product strategy:
- Use rendering and interaction capabilities to solve "can we get the data at all?"
- Use structured extraction to solve "can the model reason directly over what we've retrieved?"
- Use indexing strategy and caching to solve "can we stay fresh at a controlled cost?"
- Use token/latency optimization to solve "can agents run at scale?"
- Use governance mechanisms to solve "can this operate in compliance over the long term?"
## Capability boundaries and limitations
As a small startup, SelfReason Web Index isn't trying to replicate a "complete Google-scale web index."
We focus on high-value scenarios:
- Through HuBrowser โ purpose-built for this โ we prioritize high-value content from dynamic, interactive, and sensitive sites.
- We prioritize "high-quality, reasoning-ready, traceable" results over comprehensive web coverage.
- We continuously improve timeliness and accuracy at a controllable cost, avoiding the stability and compliance trade-offs that come with chasing full-scale indexing.
- For complex sites, we apply on-demand crawling and structured extraction strategies to minimize wasteful scraping and redundant token costs.
This means we're providing practical infrastructure for AI workflows โ not a general-purpose search engine replacement.
## Standard capabilities (available by default)
- **Anti-detect**: Browser fingerprint and automation artifact evasion strategies.
- **CAPTCHA solving**: Automated handling of Cloudflare Turnstile, reCAPTCHA, PerimeterX, and other challenges. CAPTCHA capabilities are built in-house โ no third-party services.
- **Authentication built in**: Supports syncing browser configs, connecting 1Password for automatic login and 2FA, and manual takeover logins. Credentials remain isolated from AI.
## Our architecture
HuBrowser is a fully independent operating system โ not a Chromium fork, and not a stack of scripts.
We're building an OS-level execution surface for AI agents:
- Merges real desktop and mobile interaction paths instead of simulating a single desktop session.
- Maintains signal consistency at the system, execution, and behavior layers โ no reliance on short-lived JS-layer hacks.
- Sustains stable fingerprints, performance, and observability at high concurrency for continuous operation.
## Detection evasion trends: why you need to upgrade now
- Mainstream anti-bot systems can typically detect more than they currently block.
- A lot of past automation worked because risk thresholds were conservative โ not because stealth techniques were strong enough.
- As AI agent traffic continues to rise, sites will progressively shift from monitoring to blocking.
- Solutions relying solely on JS patches, stealth plugins, or CDP-based approaches will find it increasingly difficult to survive in real-world scenarios.
## Optionally expandable capabilities (Project-Based delivery)
- Global residential IP proxies across multiple countries and regions.
- More granular regional egress strategies and session routing orchestration.
If your business involves cross-region data collection, heavy anti-crawling environments, or high-adversarial scraping scenarios, contact us for a customized evaluation.
## Use cases
- **AI search assistants**: Returns interpretable, citable structured answer sources.
- **Deep research agents**: Multi-turn retrieval, extraction, reranking, and citation closing loops.
- **Enterprise knowledge augmentation**: Unified reasoning over external web content and internal knowledge bases.
- **Vertical industry monitoring**: High-frequency update scenarios like news, policy, competitors, and finance.
:::info
**Domain-specific data scraping**: Build specialized data pipelines for vertical markets. For example, [deep.legal](https://deep.legal/demo/ontario-lawyers) uses HuBrowser to scrape and SelfReason to serve structured legal professional data for Ontario, Canada โ turning unstructured legal directories into queryable, machine-ready datasets.
:::
## Summary
SelfReason Web Index isn't a repackaged traditional crawler โ it's search result infrastructure built for the AI era.
What you get isn't a "list of pages" โ it's high-quality results ready to flow directly into model reasoning and toolchain execution.
When AI reindexes the Web, the capabilities that truly matter are:
cleaner data structures, more reliable freshness, better cost efficiency, and sustainable compliance governance.
SelfReason Web Index is designed to deliver all of this as a default configuration for developers and teams.

# What is the MCP protocol? ๐ค๐
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is 2 parts:
## MCP servers ๐ง
- Like a restaurant menuโshowing available options to AI.
- โ ๏ธ Beware: Not all "restaurants" are good, and some may be expensive!
- **HuBrowser MCP Server** lets AI control the browser just like a human, on desktop or mobile. Currently, this is available for enterprise customers only.
## MCP host & client ๐ฌ
- The host is like a smart assistant who understands your requests ("I'm vegan" or "My favorite chicken dish, please!") and orders the right items from the menu for you.
- **HuBrowser MCP Host** interprets your natural language and gets things done by communicating with different services.
## For engineers ๐ค
MCP in one sentence: a JSON-RPC based protocol with JSON Schemas for tool discovery and invocation, over local or remote transports. In practice, itโs a consistent contract for: listing tools, describing inputs/outputs, calling them, and streaming results.
## When MCP is a good fit โ
- You want tools to work across multiple AI apps without bespoke integrations
- You need a discoverable, typed interface for tools and resources
- You care about observability and control over tool calls
- You plan to mix local and remote capabilities
## When it might not be worth it โ๏ธ
- A single app calling a single API with minimal orchestration
- Extremely stateless, ephemeral tasks better served by plain REST
- You donโt need tool discovery, just a couple of hardโwired calls
## Deep dive ๐
Model Context Protocol helps AI go beyond Q\&A to actionsโsending emails, deploying code, publishing articles. Because itโs an open standard, any host can support it and any server can be reused across hosts. Thatโs more scalable than oneโoff โfunction callingโ per model vendor.
### Current challenges โ ๏ธ
#### Complexity ๐
If an API already exists, wrapping it in an MCP server can feel redundant versus direct REST/OpenAPI use. Extra layers also introduce security and permission surfaces.
#### Security ๐
Risks span the lifecycle:
- Creation: lookโalike names trick users into installing malicious servers
- Code injection: tampered source or configs
- Runtime conflicts: similarly named tools collide, causing wrong actions or leaks
- Permission drift: outdated grants remain after updates
#### Permissions ๐
Enterprises want selfโhosting and separation of data/control planes. Even with remote server support (e.g., OAuthโstyle auth, streaming transports, batching), fineโgrained, perโtool, perโresource permissions are still evolving. As tool counts grow, managing access gets hard.
#### Stateful connections ๐
MCP favors stateful, longโlived connections. Thatโs at odds with purely stateless patterns (e.g., Lambda/Workers) and raises isolation concerns when using subprocesses.
#### Context overload ๐ญ
Dumping every tool into model context wastes tokens and destabilizes behavior. With 60+ tools and needing 5, selection quality drops. Hierarchical routing and selective exposure help.
### Opportunities ๐ก
MCP keeps the model frontโandโcenter as the userโs primary interface. Users complete workflows via APIs instead of clicking through many SaaS UIsโgreat for long, multiโstep tasks.
#### Server gateway ๐ช
Add a gateway between hosts and servers for:
- Access control and auth
- Smart request routing
- Load balancing
- Response caching
Crucial in multiโtenant setups where agents/users have different entitlements.
#### Server discovery ๐
Today, setup is manual. Opportunities:
- Installer tooling (e.g., mcpโget) to add servers across hosts
- Directories/registries to browse trusted servers
#### Server hosting โ๏ธ
Remote hosting is accelerating. Expect building blocks like:
- Remote transport handlers
- Adapters so local hosts can call remote servers
- Web consoles to connect and test servers
#### Security across the lifecycle ๐ก๏ธ
Cover all phases:
- Creation: signed releases, integrity checks, verified publishers
- Runtime: sandboxing, isolation, safe I/O boundaries
- Updates: versioning, permission migrations, deprecations
#### Tool invocation management ๐ ๏ธ
Hosts need a โmiddlewareโ layer for:
- Tool discovery, ranking, and selection (not just dumpโandโpray)
- Consistent UX patterns (slash commands vs. natural language)
- Workflow orchestration: multiโstep calls, retries, resumeโfromโfailure
## HuBrowser + MCP today ๐
- HuBrowser MCP Server: AIโdriven browsing on desktop and mobile (enterpriseโonly)
- HuBrowser MCP Host: orchestrates tasks from natural language across services
- Built for complianceโminded teams: supports selfโhosting and separation of concerns
If youโre exploring MCP for enterprise automation, we can help evaluate security, permissioning, and deployment models tailored to your environment.

# HuBrowser Extension Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 12, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Deep Consulting ("HuBrowser," "we," "us," or "our") handles information when you use the HuBrowser browser extension (the "Extension"). This policy applies only to the Extension.
## Information handled by the Extension
The Extension may process the following information when needed to provide a feature you choose to use:
- Extension settings, preferences, saved automations, and custom styles
- Account and membership information when you sign in
- Prompts, selected text, webpage content, page titles, URLs, or form context submitted to an AI-powered feature
- Information you choose to synchronize across your devices
- Basic technical information needed to operate, secure, and troubleshoot the service
Webpage or form content may contain personal or sensitive information. The Extension processes or transmits this content only when you intentionally use a feature that requires it.
## Use without signing in
You can use local Extension features without signing in. While signed out, the Extension does not transmit your prompts, webpage content, form data, or browsing activity to HuBrowser or SelfReason servers, and SelfReason AI features are unavailable.
Some optional features, such as translation, may communicate directly with a third-party service when you choose to use them. Information sent to a service you select is subject to that service's privacy practices.
## Account and membership
When you sign in, we process the account information necessary to authenticate your session and verify your membership. This may include your account identifier, email address, authentication token, and membership status.
We use this information to maintain your signed-in session, provide membership features, apply service limits, prevent abuse, and protect the Extension. Signing in does not cause continuous collection of your browsing history or webpage content.
## AI-powered features
AI-powered features require a signed-in HuBrowser account. When you intentionally request an AI-powered action, the Extension securely transmits the information needed to complete that request. Depending on the feature, this may include a prompt, selected text, webpage content, page or form context, or information you previously provided for that task.
This information is used only to provide the requested feature, maintain service reliability and security, and enforce applicable usage limits. We do not use it for personalized advertising or sell it to data brokers.
Please avoid submitting passwords, payment card numbers, government identification numbers, health records, or other highly sensitive information unless it is necessary for the action you requested.
## Cookies and website sessions
The Extension does not collect or store the contents of authentication cookies.
When you use an optional feature that works through an already signed-in website tab, requests may use that website's existing browser session. The browser and the website handle the session in the normal way; the Extension does not read, copy, or send the cookie values to HuBrowser, SelfReason, or an AI service.
If you ask the Extension to clear browsing data, it may instruct your browser to delete cookies or other site data you selected. This is a local browser action and does not disclose cookie values to us.
## Local storage and synchronization
Most Extension settings and feature data are stored locally in your browser. Local data remains on your device until you delete it, clear the relevant browser storage, reset the Extension, or uninstall it.
Eligible signed-in users may use synchronization features for selected Extension data, such as saved automations or custom styles. Synchronized data is associated with the user's account and retained until it is replaced, deleted, or no longer reasonably needed to provide the synchronization service.
## How we share information
We do not sell or rent Extension user data.
We may share information only:
- With service providers that process data on our behalf to provide authentication, hosting, synchronization, security, or AI-powered features
- With a third-party service you choose to use, when the transfer is necessary to perform your requested action
- When required by law or reasonably necessary to prevent fraud, abuse, or security threats
- As part of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, subject to appropriate safeguards and notice where required
Service providers may process information only as necessary to provide their services to us and may not use Extension data for their own personalized advertising.
## Browsing activity
The Extension does not continuously collect or store your browsing history for advertising or profiling. It may access the active page's URL, title, selected text, visible content, or form context locally when required for a feature you invoke. Any transmission follows the feature-specific practices described in this policy.
## Data security and retention
User data transmitted by the Extension is protected using HTTPS or another encrypted transport. We limit access to account and service data to systems and providers that need it to operate or secure the requested features.
We retain account, synchronized, and service information only for as long as reasonably necessary to provide and secure the service, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.
## Your choices
You can:
- Use local features without signing in
- Sign out to disable authenticated AI and synchronization features
- Choose whether to use third-party or cloud-based features
- Clear local Extension data through Extension or browser controls
- Uninstall the Extension to remove its local storage
- [Contact HuBrowser](/contact.md) to request access to, correction of, or deletion of account-associated information, subject to applicable law
## Children's privacy
The Extension is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If we learn that a child has provided personal data, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.
## Chrome Web Store Limited Use
Our use of information received from browser APIs and Google APIs complies with the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
Extension user data is used only to provide or improve the Extension's disclosed features. We do not use or transfer it for personalized advertising, sell it to data brokers, use it to determine creditworthiness, or allow humans to read it except with the user's specific consent, for security purposes, when required by law, or after it has been aggregated and anonymized for permitted internal operations.
## Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when our features or privacy practices change. The updated policy will show a revised date. Where required, we will provide additional notice before a material change takes effect.
