Why side-scraper
One catcher per platform. Minimal permissions. One CSV schema across the bundle.
- Side-panel UX instead of a transient popup that closes on focus loss.
- Reliable dedup across virtualized feeds — LinkedIn, Threads, and X all recycle DOM differently.
-
Per-platform
host_permissionsonly. No catch-all<all_urls>. -
Explicit
chrome.downloadsCSV export, not clipboard hacks or extension-storage rows.
