Text of the page (random words):
the checkmark to return to that session after reopening the popup the check means submitted progress and results appear in the agent session this requires a server with the capture task endpoint an administrator api key and the ai agent enabled and configured tasks use the server s existing opencode sessions skills and tools the server supplies the snapshot uuid url title crawl and tags the form waits until the capture has a server snapshot id errors preserve the task text for retry each capture server pair keeps its submitted session link continue additional instructions in that session cookies profiles the cookies tab shows one persona at a time with a compact searchable list of saved sites and available browser cookies existing cookie permissions load the list automatically related subdomains are grouped together expand a site to select or remove individual domains favicons use saved open tab icons first then google s favicon service for public sites four familiar sites lead the list all other sites are alphabetical with friendly names for 100 common sites select sites and choose add to profile sync now uploads immediately and enables auto sync for that persona and server adding sites then syncs them automatically the last synced time changes only after a successful upload uncheck auto sync to pause updates switching persona tabs only changes the editor use for archiving changes the profile used for captures configuration has separate default logged in persona and default anonymous persona selectors the latter starts with an ordinary anonymous chrome or brave edge firefox safari profile it can sync browser settings and selected cookies including an alternate account through the same opt in sync controls the popup shows the detected persona and lets you override it for that capture with cookie and page access permissions a live page without site cookies local session storage or indexeddb uses the anonymous default other or unknown states use the logged in default visibility follows the server persona settings browser captured files stay local when using the anonymous default the server captures with that profile s own state local captures viewport screenshots and mhtml captures chrome edge brave are enabled by default along with uploading these artifacts to the selected server safari and firefox do not capture mhtml full page capture and upload are separate opt in settings viewport and full page images are stored independently when both are enabled existing explicit capture and upload choices are preserved the extension stores capture artifacts in the browser s extension local opfs storage viewport screenshot snapshots yyyymmdd example com uuid chrome_extension_viewport screenshot png full page screenshot snapshots yyyymmdd example com uuid chrome_extension_screenshot screenshot png mhtml snapshot snapshots yyyymmdd example com uuid chrome_extension_mhtml snapshot mhtml older local mhtml files retain their recorded chrome_mhtml paths uploads use the separate chrome_extension_mhtml server directory so server side mhtml captures cannot overwrite browser captured files local snapshot retention defaults to 30 days after submission and confirmed file uploads each capture type can inherit that duration or use a shorter ttl 1 minute 1 day 30 days or 90 days up to the snapshot limit keep snapshots forever and give mhtml screenshots a short ttl to retain cheap metadata and upload receipts while removing heavy local files snapshot metadata is the parent of the local output rows in capture storage each output defaults to the metadata retention limit and can use a shorter duration turning metadata off also turns off local outputs enabling an output re enables metadata with metadata off confirmed local copies are removed after upload pending files and their metadata are kept until their server copies are verified file timers start after confirmed upload of that exact capture version cleanup checks the configured server again before deleting local data offline unauthorized missing and unverified server copies are preserved as are files that were never uploaded and their snapshot rows server files are never deleted by local retention expiration runs on the extension s recurring one minute alarm including after browser or worker restart to stop automatically collecting and submitting visited urls turn off configuration automatic archiving enable automatic archiving the local screenshot html switches only control capture files exclude url regex blocks automatic background archiving toolbar clicks context menu saves keyboard shortcuts and sync are explicit overrides automatic captures recheck the current enable switch and url patterns before submitting so a capture already in progress will stay local if its url is now excluded or automatic archiving is disabled patterns use javascript regular expression source without surrounding delimiters both and exclude every url invalid patterns block automatic archiving and show an error in the url tester the saved urls list uses the admin s output icon stacks for url submission html and screenshots a check means confirmed delivery to the configured server a minus means local only or not captured and an exclamation marks a failure mixed delivery or unverified older upload click a stack for separate mhtml viewport and full page screenshot details each receipt survives refresh and is tied to the capture version and server id changing upload preferences does not rewrite past delivery older receipts are checked against the server an older file with no capture version metadata is labeled on server local version unverified setup set up an archivebox server and make sure it s accessible to the machine you re
