    What can you automate with Beachpatrol? The sky is the limit:

    • Check your email.
    • Login to your bank account.

    […]

    Oh hell no!

      Yeah… I’d rather spend some time doing those manually and not risk losing money (or even worse) because of a mere couple seconds less on the internet.

      It’s really cool, when automation tools create more problems than they actually solve.

      It should be pretty soon. I’ve got it working already, but I need to test it more and figure out how Firefox profiles work with Playwright.

      If you want you can just clone it and replace “chromium” with “firefox”. It should just work, and it shouldn’t take too long to figure out the rest.

    It would be cool to have it also just navigate the web for you as you. Basically would start polluting all the trackers and if enough people used it their databases would be so overwhelmed. Seems like a good tool from a privacy stand point would get hard to really pinpoint you for advertising or whatevertheir other purposes are for tracking.
