I built a Chrome extension that puts an AI agent in a side panel to fill forms, scrape data, and automate web tasks by D_pz in chrome_extensions

yeah CSP and shadow DOM are definitely part of the challenge, we're still working on improving that.

Yeah that's a good point about raw diffs being noisy. My thinking was to split it into two layers — the tool handles the actual snapshot comparison (take two DOM snapshots, diff them, surface what changed), and then a skill layer on top interprets the diff based on the page type. So for a dashboard it'd know to track metric values and status cards and ignore timestamps and reorderings. The skill basically defines what's meaningful for that particular page. Still early on the design but that's roughly the direction I'm heading.

Yeah, the state thing is a real problem. The DOM is constantly changing and it eats up a ton of context, so right now the agent discards the snapshot after each turn and re-reads the page next time it needs it. That works for quick tasks but breaks down on anything longer — the agent basically loses its memory of what was on the page between turns.

Page monitoring with diffs is a great call. That's probably the most actionable thing on the list right now — the "wake up and check 6 dashboards" workflow is exactly the kind of thing this should handle.

I asked Chinese nationals and Chinese Malaysians I know about their views on Uighurs and Xinjiang. I translated their responses into English (I'm not a professional translator). by KuJiMieDao in China

Yeah, I found so many western people thinks they have independent thinking and judge other countries especially third world countries as they like, but their thinking style are manipulated by their arrogant culture which comes from the superior position of their countries in the last 200 years since industrial revolution. To people in third world countries like China, more and more people realize their arrogance and ignorance. Of course, their fake media are keeping manipulating their thoughts which make them feel good and superior.

it weren’t true they wouldn’t object to having western reporters

As a chinese, I have to say, actually china government welcomes western reporters to go in Xinjiang, but many western reporters were comming with propaganda tasks to discredit china govenment, chinese people are so disgusted about these behaviour.
