Recently, I thought, "Why am I creating so many Colab notebooks for things that could be Chrome extensions?"

Thus, I've published my first Chrome extension!

chromewebstore.google.com/detail/web-c...

All it does it copy the text on the page. It also allows you to filter out certain HTML5 tags.

Extract and copy main content from webpages while filtering out navigation, headers, and other unwanted elements.

LOL imagine if ordinary people just trying to live their lives, were tech savvy enough to install plug-ins.

Google AI Overviews is garbage.

Here's just the Chrome extensions I found in the first few minutes of looking.

I wonder how many more there are.

The way I explain AGI to non-tech people is it's the belief that if I read enough book to my dog, there is some threshold at which it becomes a blackbelt in Karate.

What’s funny to me is the billlionaires can’t buy cool, they can’t buy smooth and they can’t buy likability. They will die rich with money and bankrupt of integrity, character and love. That makes me laugh.

I’ve just created a killer new way to automate blog auditing. Looking to pressure test this by having a few SEOs look at the results output.

Any takers to volunteer a website to test it on? Results will be emailed directly and not shared publicly nor stored online.

Has anyone seen fragment handles that link to child pages instead of the typical bookmark jump links?

What’s interesting is that this site I found it on has a table of contents but it links to separate pages instead of traditional jump links.

I’ve never considered vanilla wafers to be something that could be homemade. Like, of course they can. But never thought to do that.
Definitely add vanilla wafers to the list of things that are roughly 1 billion times better homemade. Holy crap. It's like vanilla made love to butter, and this was the baby.

Crowdsourcing for help. I’m conducting a few data studies and require large sets of keywords categorized by industry. If you’re kind enough to send me any amount, I’ll return the favor by providing a private link to my dashboard where I’ll be tracking them.

Interesting note from Google’s new FAQ section on their site reputation abuse page.

If you’re deciding to move your affiliate content to a new domain, do NOT redirect the old pages. This may transfer the penalty.

Would anyone use this tool if I created the UI on my site? What it does is identifies which third party scripts are deployed by GTM.

Origin story here is I was conducting a site speed audit but didn't have access to GTM to verify which scripts were deployed through there.
