I guess if the logic for finding the posts was done on the server then you would only need one API call - the extension would just send through whatever url it had. That would be more efficient.
If this gets popular I'd be open to adding a dedicated API endpoint for this to PieFed.
Kind of a privacy nightmare though, aye. Sending your whole browser history to a third party... But that's a whole different issue.
Yeah. Interesting to think if there are ways to get around that problem. Still, very interesting work @rozodru@lemmy.world, and great idea splitting it out into an extension!

…it doesn’t view the browser history at all.?

It doesn't access old browser history but from the moment it is installed onwards it sends every url you visit to 7 instances, to do a search.
