From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Yeah... I'd rather spend some time doing those manually and not risk losing money (or even worse) because of a mere couple seconds less on the internet.
It's really cool, when automation tools create more problems than they actually solve.
your everyday web browser
I only see chromium referenced, where's firefox?
"Currently only Chromium is supported. Other Chromium-based browsers and Firefox support to be added soon."
Hmmm automated web scraping 🤑🤔🤔
This is really cool! Do you have a rough timeline for Firefox support?
It should be pretty soon. I've got it working already, but I need to test it more and figure out how Firefox profiles work with Playwright.
If you want you can just clone it and replace "chromium" with "firefox". It should just work, and it shouldn't take too long to figure out the rest.
Let us know when it's ready, I'd like to try that.
Will do, bossman
Dang, I really dislike npm shit, but I might check this out
It would be cool to have it also just navigate the web for you as you. Basically would start polluting all the trackers and if enough people used it their databases would be so overwhelmed. Seems like a good tool from a privacy stand point would get hard to really pinpoint you for advertising or whatevertheir other purposes are for tracking.
