Rebrowse: Chrome Extension for Recording Browser Tasks into Automatable JSON Workflows
By
Nori Kizawa
Hard crust, hollow middle. Skim only.
Summary
Rebrowse is a Chrome extension that allows users to record browser tasks and save them as runnable JSON workflows for automation. Built by a solo developer, it targets indie hackers and small teams looking to automate repetitive browser tasks like QA checks, content uploads, and growth scraping. The tool is MIT-licensed, produces version-controllable JSON, and positions itself as a lightweight alternative to heavier RPA tools.
