  Hello. Sorry, I couldn’t find an immediate source when I did a web search with the text you quoted. Do you have a source for it you could share, or recall when you saw it?

  Thanks!

  Sorry about that.

  I’ve used one or more extensions for this purpose, but only on desktop and it was so short lived I don’t recall the names. I quickly shifted to using the Dev Tools as it didn’t require trusting an extension.

  So, I guess one of the main focuses or concerns would be open source to help provide some slight reassurance regarding security and privacy.

  Minimal permissions is also an aspect I look for when considering apps or extensions, if that matters for anyone else as well.

  Otherwise, just having the option to download images from a page, which I suppose more specifically focuses on pages which don’t allow a long-press context window option; as I’d just do that if it was available.

  I don’t really need bulk download options. For any such large datasets I’d use a desktop. But hopefully an extension available on mobile would save me from needing to screenshot a bunch of image text posts I can’t just download normally.

  What’s the ‘applescript’?

  Not to create an argument, which isn’t my intent, as certainty there may be a thought such as, “scraping as it stands is good because of the simplification and ‘benefit’”. Which, sure, it’s easiest to wide net and absorb, to simply the concept, at least as I’m also understanding it.

  Yet, maybe it is the process of scraping, and also absorbing into databases including AI, which is a worthwhile point of conversation. Maybe how we’ve been doing something isn’t the continued ‘best course’ for a situation.

  Undeniably, more minutely monitoring what is scraped and stored creates large quantities, and large in scope, of questions and obstacles, but, maybe having that conversation is where things should go.

  Thoughts?

  I’ve read that dual booting Windows and Linux can have temperamental quirks and I’ve had my share of them.

  Now, if I’m doing that, Windows fs gets isolated and I refuse to even connect it to the internet. But, outside of a legacy automotive shop program meant for XP, I’ve not needed Windows for a couple years.
