What this fork adds

You stay in control

• Plan preview — the agent shows its plan and waits for approval before touching a page.
• Confirmation for sensitive actions — buying, deleting, submitting a form, downloading a file or typing into a password field all stop and ask first. The check reads the DOM element the agent picked rather than the model's own account of what it is doing, so a page that steers the model still has to get past you.
• Undo — roll back the last step; the page navigates back and the agent forgets the step, then re-plans.

On-device memory — the agent can remember your preferences across sessions, stored in chrome.storage.local only. Options → Memory lists every stored fact with per-entry delete and a master switch.

More reliable grounding — empty DOM parses are retried before the agent concludes a page is empty, and a screenshot is attached automatically when the DOM yields nothing at all. Stale element clicks are retried once against fresh state.

Hybrid model routing — an optional cheap Fast model handles routine steps, while failures, dense pages, screenshot reasoning and the first step of a new plan escalate to your main model.

Parallel research — independent lookups run concurrently in their own tabs and merge. Those tabs are read-only by construction and cannot click, type or submit.
