That's a valid option. The whole thing in my head was that it was supposed to be automated, and eventually figure out how to narrow down the pages where it runs. I know seeing the permissions to collect data on every page just sounds scary lol but I was hoping the fact that the extension isn't touching any kind of backend or anything external would balance it out. I will think about that though, thanks for the input!

So to play devils advocate about it all, is this just for anyone that doesn't want to support anything that uses any amount of AI, or is there a certain threshold that acceptable (would vary between people I assume)? I released the code to show that no data is sent or collected anywhere else, does it actually matter how the code was written?

To be completely upfront, as I said in another comment I'm new to extensions as I only have worked on one before that is super super simple. So I did use cursor to get a boilerplate template started so I could figure out what I needed and what I had to work with. Then I used it to bounce ideas off of and had a couple different versions of how it worked before getting to what I have now. Was some of the code ai generated? Yep. Was some of it written by me? Yep.

If the question was really, did I vibe code this over a weekend and just tell the agent "build me an extension" then no that's not what happened. I probably worked on this over a month or so in my free time, using cursor to figure out stuff I didn't know, and save some time of looking things up the old school way.

If that turns anyone off to the extension, it's all good. This isn't a business venture where I expect any money to come in from it. I wanted to work on something useful and hope it proves helpful to anyone who tries it out

Is there a reason to believe this was written by AI?

True, and I've used the browser auto fill for name/email/number or the extension Simplify that can build a profile to auto fill things like LinkedIn URL, GitHub URL, things like that. But I haven't had either save an answer for things like salary range, "name a project you worked on/proud of" things like that, plus a lot will ask the same question worded differently. Maybe the browser can save those, or premium Simplify, but I haven't seen it or done it so why not build something that helps me out and I can show off on my resume.

I'm new to extensions so I'm open for any feedback I can get, just a broke dev trying to find a job in this job market lol
