#12Sounds similar to Browserflow, which was on HN a few days ago.

#13What's the most interesting or complicated flow someone has built using this? Just curious.
I'm thinking with this I can get it to instantly select the right fields and prepare the data, put it in my clipboard, then I will be able to just paste in my sheet saving some time.

How can you verify that your extension actually runs the code that's in the open source repository? Extensions' integrity can be signed and verified against something that was also authored by the creator, but what verifies that the code in the linked repository is the same one, not a different one?

#17does.. and do it automatically?
I've been trying to find a way to hand over a list of urls and set to download only 2 videos at a time per domain.. then after one is finishes wait a random X seconds and then get the next in the list.
Sounds like it should be easy to put something like this together, just not sure what tools would be most suited for such a thing in this day and age.

A web of trust style checksum confirmation network would be invaluable for browser extensions. Building that into a browser's security model would be great - an extension has to be validated with a minimum score or it's disabled unless manually activated.
