A browser extension and Instagram comments
A plugin exports what is on screen now. Close the tab — the list is gone. Hourly watch and the same token for JSON will not come from an extension: it is not a workspace.
Where an extension still lives
A one-off snapshot of an already open thread, without a client library.
Frequently asked questions
Can I keep the extension and the workspace?
