#2Sounds like a fantastic idea, especially if I can use it to save video and images from websites too.
Unfortunately it doesn't work for me though -- I get "Unchecked runtime.lastError: Native host has exited."

#3This is a brilliant piece of work. As someone who has thousands of tabs open, I've always wanted to "close all tabs with a single command", or view all the open tabs and mass select them and close, for years. Otherwise, going through them one by one and deleting takes forever. Now somebody make a vim pluggin so I can delete tabs by visual selecting a bunch of them and typing "d".

#4I'm loving this trend to do more things with filesystems.
There was https://amoffat.github.io/supertag/ [,] which I'm intending to use in my filesharing sftp server, and now this, which seems like something that exposes functionality from a web browser that I would love.

#5I like it, the plan 9/acme approach seems like it could be pretty powerful with browsers

This does seem like a brilliant idea, doesn't it. I'm thinking about how difficult it would be to setup something like 'surf' but using chromium/firefox, and then driving it completely off the CLI. It honestly sounds like my dream browser.

You can kinda do that with the vimium plugin. Select a bunch of tabs and press "x", but it doesn't support visual selection of tabs.

If you just want to close all tabs then in Firefox right click a tab and select "Close Other Tabs". Also, you can control-click on tabs to apply commands the the whole set, such as closing them, sending them to your phone, etc.

>save video
Problem with HTML5 video is you can use more than just a link to video file https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/MediaSource There are "certain" websites serving videos using BLOB object mediasource created dynamically from encrypted https sources. So far I had no luck trying to capture resulting video datastream, mediasource is a write and forget type of interface, and on top of that MediaRecorder/captureStream() is bugged and crashes so you cant even record lossy reencoded capture.

I should probably experiment with shimming whole MediaSource api and capture data before its pumped into the read only void.

It's running a script in the background to exfiltrate the info from the browser to the system, and that script has an error. I believe it's a script like /home/dheera/code/clone/TabFS/fs/tabfs* – if you look around in the browser some more you should find the stderr output of the script, which probably explains the error
