Show HN: Lidar, an extension to scrape websites as you visit them

Hi there!

It started as a simple extension to remember HN profiles I visit and store the data locally.

I made some modifications, and allowed users to create any kind of scraping rule instead.

It works like this:

You create a rule once, it will start autoapplying whenever it sees a similar page.

At any moment, you can export or clear the data for any rule.

Chrome:

Firefox:

Would love some feedback!
