I like the name. But how is this extension different from iMacros, Selenium IDE or UI.vision?

These extensions are some well-known browser automation tools, each with > 100K users.

Did you look at them and decided to do something different?

Yup, I've tried dozens of tools in this category, and here are some of the main differentiators:

- Ease of use: Most existing tools have pretty clunky UX and are hard to get started on

- Reliability: I've had issues with many tools simply not working, especially when it comes to more complex sites

- Cloud: Browserflow lets you deploy your flows to the cloud to run them on a schedule whereas many tools are local-only

Hope that helps!

I was skeptical at first, but your comment convinced me to take a look. It really is much easier and cleaner, and having it run in the cloud is amazing!

Nice job!
