  One example is a script to quickly grab the URL of the current tab and send it to mpv¹ for playing or yt-dlp² for downloading. Or send some JavaScript to that same tab. Or grab the URLs and titles of all tabs in all windows that match a specific domain, close them, and then reopen in a brand new window. Alfred³ has a ton of automations that allow you to do that without having to code it yourself. ¹ https://mpv.io... - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

  Overmix is the tool you’re looking for. But before that, your going to need to get screenshot. I suggest mpv, as it allows you to customize and take full quality PNG, frame by frame. Then you can use Overmix to stitch the frame together into a single hi-res screenshot. Here’s an example (not Senko). Source: 10 months ago
