Hunchly 2.0 Extension

Hunchly is an absolutely essential part of my investigations toolkit. I can't count how many times it's helped me save something that later disappeared, or to identify connections between webpages.\" - Craig Silverman
(Media Editor, BuzzFeed News)

- Never take a screenshot again! Hunchly captures the web content you visit automatically, and makes it much easier
to stay organized.

- Stay focused on what matters - the investigation! Hunchly works quietly in the background, and with the blacklist and capture toggle, you can make sure you're only capturing what you need.

- Page you saw got taken down? No probblem! Hunchly makes highly accurate offline copies in case the page you visited gets taken down or changed.

- Protect against tampering! Every page, image, and attachment in Hunchly is given a unique fingerprint (\"hash\") at capture.
