No. OnlyRead is a free, open-source Chrome extension that gives AI browser agents read-only access to your web apps: they can read and search, but cannot send, post, delete or buy by mistake. You bring the agent; OnlyRead limits what can change in the apps you guard.
Requests classified as changes are blocked; reads continue. Some apps use the same endpoint for reads and writes, so app-specific rules and request classification matter. It is a strong boundary, not a guarantee against every possible change.
Rarely, but yes. Most requests are settled before a model is asked: by rules, per-app decoders and verdicts reviewed by hand. For the rest, the judge is tested on real requests recorded from the apps we support, and anything it isn’t sure about is refused. Like any AI model, it can still misjudge a request, so treat OnlyRead as a strong safety net, not a guarantee, and keep an eye on what your agents do in the accounts that matter.
Your settings and decision log stay in Chrome storage. Most requests are decided locally. The few that aren’t go to a model for a verdict: on Free, to your own provider with your key; on Pro, to OnlyRead’s service, which never stores the request content.
From the Chrome Web Store, in one click. It runs in Google Chrome and Chromium browsers such as Perplexity Comet, with any agent that drives them: Claude in Chrome, ChatGPT in Chrome and Codex, Gemini in Chrome, Claude Cowork and others. Every site starts off; you switch on the apps your agent may use, and it guards them whenever an agent is working. The full walkthrough, with a test you can run, is in how to make an AI browser agent read-only.
All that curiosity. A little more control.
