  • Get ready for it to suck. Embrace the pain like a masochist.

    Currently seems like you have a pretty solid routine of wasting days on YT. While it may be long term painful, it’s short term very pleasant, and it’s gonna be hard to force yourself to do anything less pleasant.

    Gotta expect the suck and treat the feeling as progress.

    Or substitution for other dopamine dumps, but that’s just making a new future problem


  • Extensions can have more access.

    They can snoop / manipulate across tabs or even scan the local drive and execute system commands… when given the access.

    I had to make one for work once to let a web app run a legacy command prompt system. The web app’s search was better, but the users wanted to edit with the old tool.

    It was kind of interesting the way it worked. Not remembering the full details, I created an extension and a batch script and had to register the batch script with a group policy and declare the extension’s permission to run that batch script

    Then the users could search a client in the web app and press a button to bring up their profile in the prompt app.

    Not a recommended approach for public facing apps.

    *Edit: No! It wasn’t a batch script… exactly… it was a C# app compiled to .dll that accepted client id as an argument
