Does this allow me to record something like a workflow or macro I can use as a shortcut in an open browser window or is it restricted an automated process of opening a browser window and executing some actions?

Specifically, assume I have a bunch of open tabs, each with an identical element, say the Full Screen button on Youtube video pages. Can I record "Exit Full Screen, move to next tab, enter Full Screen of the video on the page" with Autotab?

You could do a version of this if you always open your Youtube videos in the browser instance your autotab script spins up, but short answer is not really. Macros like this are super interesting though, and we've talked a lot about ways browsers could be designed for AI and automation like this.

This is very interesting, may I ask what macros you would define? Definitely something I'd like to learn more about

The example I've given is really the only situation so far where I desired such functionality. I know very little about web stuff and I don't know if there is a term for what I'm looking for, so I can't give you any pointers. Macros and workflows are just similar concepts I know.
