What our analysis found

Better DeepSeek, used by 20,000 people, showed no malicious code in Extension Auditor's review. Its permissions mean it can read and change data on all websites. It comes from a publisher with 2 extensions and was last updated in October 2026.

Analyst notes

The reviewed code is fully consistent with the extension's stated purpose of enhancing DeepSeek's chat UI. The hook in intercepts only [domain withheld] API paths to inject system prompts into requests — all other traffic passes through unmodified. The DeepSeek auth token captured in (line 1390–1392) is stored in-memory and used exclusively to make follow-up requests to DeepSeek's own API () at line 1467, never exfiltrated. Remote config is fetched from the publisher's own open-source GitHub repo and stored as JSON — it is not executed as code. Third-party risk score flags are corroborated by the broad <all_urls> permission, but this is justified by the user-initiated 'deep research' URL-fetch feature ( lines 660–675). No data is sent to any third-party domain unrelated to the extension's stated function.

About this extension

Enhanced UX layer for DeepSeek with hidden prompts, tools, memory, document generation, and long-work packaging.

Read the publisher’s full description

Better DeepSeek is a powerful extension that transforms the DeepSeek chat interface into a full-fledged development and productivity studio. It works by intercepting your prompts and injecting a hidden system layer, allowing DeepSeek to utilize a suite of specialized tools and tags without cluttering the visible conversation. 🛠️ IN-BROWSER TOOLS & VISUALIZERS • Python Runner: Execute Python scripts (via Pyodide) with data analysis and plotting capabilities. • Office Generators: Ask DeepSeek to generate .pptx (PowerPoint), .xlsx (Excel), and .docx (Word) files instantly. • Minimalist Visualizer: Built-in physics, math, and logic simulators for better conceptual understanding. 📦 LONG-WORK & AUTO-ZIPPING Tired of copying and pasting code across 15 different files? Ask DeepSeek to build a full project. The extension will silently capture all generated files and package them into a single, neat .zip archive ready for download. 🧠 PERSISTENT MEMORY & PERSONAS • Silent Memory: DeepSeek learns your preferences, tech stack, and ongoing projects across sessions. • Custom Characters: Ask the AI to create a specific roleplay character or specialized expert persona. The extension automatically saves it to your Character Library, allowing you to switch between different personalities or specialized agents with a single click. • Skill Management: Save your most frequently used prompts, workflows, or complex tool instructions as reusable "Skills". Quickly inject them into your chat without retyping them every time. 🎙️ VOICE & ACCESSIBILITY (NEW) Voice Prompts (STT): Dictate your prompts directly using the built-in microphone tool. It supports auto-submission for a completely hands-free experience. Voice Responses (TTS): Have DeepSeek read its responses back to you. Perfect for long explanations or when you're multitasking. 🔒 PRIVACY FIRST & OPEN SOURCE Your data belongs to you. The extension operates entirely within your browser, parsing standard DOM elements and leveraging local APIs. Check out our source code, report issues, or contribute on GitHub! ⚠️ DISCLAIMER "Better DeepSeek" is an unofficial, independent, and community-driven open-source extension.
