Is Ask DeepSeek safe?
Ask DeepSeek sends selected page text to chat.deepseek.com when you use its context-menu prompts.
When you choose one of Ask DeepSeek's selection context-menu actions, the extension combines the highlighted text with a preset or custom prompt. It opens DeepSeek Chat, fills the chat input with that prompt and selected text, and submits it there.
