Features
Browser Extension
Extension capabilities, resource capture, and desktop task control.
The extension is not a browser-only downloader. It acts as the desktop app's outpost: discovering page resources, intercepting browser downloads, sending tasks to the desktop app, and showing live desktop task snapshots.
Key Entry Points
| File | Role |
|---|---|
browser_extension/app/src/background.ts | Main background entry. |
browser_extension/app/src/background/desktop-bridge.ts | WebSocket connection, reconnection, and request dispatching. |
browser_extension/app/src/background/resource-bridge.ts | Resource capture and download interception. |
browser_extension/app/src/shared/constants.ts | Default service URL, advanced features, and help text. |
app/services/browser_service.py | Desktop-side bridge service. |
Advanced Features
| Feature | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Video recording | Record web video content. |
| WebRTC recording | Capture real-time communication streams. A page refresh is often required. |
| Screen capture | Capture a screen, window, or tab. |
| Mobile simulation | Revisit the page with a mobile user agent. |
| Deep search | Re-analyze page requests for hidden resources. |
| Cache capture | Capture resources already stored in browser cache. |
When debugging extension problems, check these three things first: whether the desktop bridge service is enabled, whether the pairing token matches, and whether the extension background logs show a successful WebSocket connection.
