peerd
GitHub
Peerd is a browser extension that runs AI agent loops locally in Chrome or Firefox, allowing agents to read and control your existing tabs, run sandboxed code, and optionally communicate peer-to-peer, with all keys encrypted locally and no backend or telemetry. The extension uses browser security primitives (V8 isolates, WebCrypto, iframes) to isolate the agent holding your API keys from the untrusted content it reads, delegating work to separate actors that hold no keys and operate individual environments. The project is in experimental 0.x status with breaking changes likely, available as developer preview, store packages, or research preview with decentralized web features.
Why it matters
peerd is an AI-powered browser extension for Chrome and Firefox that allows users to automate complex tasks by interacting directly with open tabs and sessions. It uses secure sandboxed environments and peer-to-peer connections to focus on decentralized operations and local data management.
