You are spending a LOT more time on yours than I did mine... but yours will
likely also be a lot "cleaner". Mine is a bit of a mess, but as we saw it
works well.

Once you share yours I will make my video public:
<https://youtu.be/TH3rKDAAvsc>

Looking at my script again I could have made it a LOT easier. Might test
that tomorrow and then have a MUCH better script. But whatever... it works.

Ouch! Yeah, that is pretty broken.

Also gives me a new tool to try... and with that can just toss it into my
AppleScript which would be a lot more efficient.

Hmmm... I can also script Paparazzi that way.... which might have been more
efficient, too. It does not have the ability to turn JavaScript off.

If I do try this tool it will break my self-imposed "rule" of not installing
any software I did not already have. I *did* update some, but all of this is
stuff I already had.
