Sun Kim (ID: 000000842794a511) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 02/24/2023 It works, but I get prompt.js errors causing severe delays. I was wondering why my web browser had significant delays and it was selenium extension where prompt.js was holding up the web page from loading. If you're going to use this, be selective about what web sites you give it permission to, or use it on a specific profile that you only use for testing. Other automation extensions don't do this... Pretty disappointing it ended up being malware. Uncaught SyntaxError: Identifier 'originalPrompt' has already been declared (at prompt.js:1:1)
