Hi HN

I am planning to get in building mode. I plan to build 1 extension per month and do it over the next 3-4 months. I would love suggestion/request for what you want to get built.

There is surprise for early adopter and idolators here.

I want something that automatically gets rid of those STUPID GPDR and cookie banners automatically. Answer no to everything and bypass them.

uBlock Origin + some aggressive anti-annoyance lists pretty much hide most cookie banners

yep, if you can think of it; a) the simpsons did it and b) there's already an app for that.

Maybe this exists, but blur images unless site is whitelisted. Then a person could read the news without bikini pics and Oscar dress pics, etc. UK papers are the worst.

Simple data-scraping: I want grab the items in page and export them in a structured way (JSON, CSV). It should have an intuitive way to handle infinite scrolling or pagination.

It should be simple enough so that I don't have to open an IDE for basic scrapping scenarios.

Check out https://browserflow.app/; I've been really happy with it so far
