Forwarding tech co founder Alex's note to HN community: Hi HN, I'm Alex, technical co-founder of Nanobrowser. We have been working on this project to make web automation more accessible, powerful, and open. In building Nanobrowser, we leveraged open source library such as browser use (https://github.com/browser-use/browser-use) , and Chrome Extension Boilerplate (https://github.com/Jonghakseo/chrome-extension-boilerplate-r...) We completely rewrote the DOM processing part of browser-use with Typescript, built a multi-agent system and implemented the extension frontend with React, Vite and Typescript. We hope you like tinkering with Nanobrowser! Checkout out our repo (https://github.com/nanobrowser/nanobrowser), create issues or open a pull reqeusts. Thanks for taking a look! I'm excited to see what the HN community thinks. (Alex was not

A nice feature coming soon its that it will let you share non-gif images using same context menu option. To create it I had to do a bit of reverse-engineering of the existing JavaScript found at https://web.whatsapp.com/, which is actually a minified React app, I found out that it uses WebSockets to communicate with the backend but thankfully to create this extension I was able to avoid fiddling with those messages. Under the hood it uses the amazing library ffmpeg.wasm (the JS port of ffmpeg
