It’s a neat idea, but giving a 2B model full JS execution privileges on a live page is a bit sketchy from a security standpoint. Plus, why tie inference to the browser lifecycle at all? If Chrome crashes or the tab gets discarded, your agent's state is just gone. A local background daemon with a "dumb" extension client seems way more predictable and robust fwiw | |||||||||||||||||

There's indexed db, opfs, etc. Plenty of ways to store stuff in a browser that will survive your browser restarting. Background daemons don't work unless you install and start them yourself. That's a lot of installation friction. The whole point of a browser app is that you don't have to install stuff. And what you call sketchy is what billions of people default to every day when they use web applications. | |||||||||||||||||
