Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

OpenBrowserAgent Local Execution Bridge

Native Messaging bridge installer and runtime for OpenBrowserAgent.

Install the local execution bridge and create a shell bridge config. Choose the browser you use, such as chrome, edge, brave, vivaldi, chromium, or firefox. For common Linux packaged browsers, use targets such as firefox-flatpak, chromium-flatpak, brave-flatpak, firefox-snap, or chromium-snap.

On macOS, chrome, edge, brave, vivaldi, chromium, and firefox are supported. Safari is not supported by this bridge because OpenBrowserAgent's Safari build does not use this Native Messaging API.

npx openbrowseragent-local-execution-bridge@1 install --browser chrome --extension-id <extension-id> --command-id default

Example for Firefox:

npx openbrowseragent-local-execution-bridge@1 install --browser firefox --extension-id <extension-id> --command-id default

The installer writes a stable local bridge runtime, a wrapper executable, a Native Messaging manifest, and a bridge config containing a generated secret. It prints JSON with the values to enter in OpenBrowserAgent. When OpenBrowserAgent tests the bridge, the bridge reports the shell, basic environment, and detected local agent CLIs it can use for shell commands. On Windows, Brave, Vivaldi, and Chromium targets also register a Chrome-compatible Native Messaging registry key for browsers that read that location.

The Native Messaging manifest points to the generated wrapper path, not to npx.

Update existing bridge runtimes by running the latest package updater. With no arguments, it scans known Native Messaging manifest locations and refreshes every installed OpenBrowserAgent bridge it can find:

npx openbrowseragent-local-execution-bridge@1 update

Use --browser chrome or another browser target to update only one browser. If you need to repair or change the extension ID, pass the normal install arguments such as --browser chrome --extension-id <extension-id> --command-id default.

Uninstall the native host files:

npx openbrowseragent-local-execution-bridge@1 uninstall

This removes the browser registrations for supported browsers, the generated wrapper, copied bridge runtime, and bridge config. Add --browser chrome or another browser target to clean only one browser registration. Add --keep-config if you want to preserve the shell config and secret.
