Philosophy

Four principles every tool in this collection follows.

Compose, don't scrape.

Every tool only generates URLs and opens them in your browser. No content scripts, no background polling, no platform APIs. The platform does the actual search; the tool just makes the URL easy to construct.

Local-first data.

Saved searches, tags, and settings live in chrome.storage.local on your device. Nothing syncs across machines, nothing is sent anywhere. Export JSON writes to a file on your disk; you control the rest.

Minimum permissions.

Six of seven tools declare only storage + sidePanel. LinkedIn adds scripting + a LinkedIn-scoped host_permissions for its optional ID-capture feature — triggered exclusively on user click, never on page load.

Open source.

The whole monorepo lives on GitHub. Every URL builder, every template, every test. If a parameter changes, you can see the fix; if a template's missing, you can add one.
