We've been pushing really hard over the last 6mo to develop this release. I'd love to hear feedback from people who've worked on big plugin systems in the past, or anyone who's tried our betas!

Does this mean it's now possible to write plugins that dismiss cookie popups, solve captchas, scroll web pages etc.?

You mean ArchiveBox still doesn’t deal with cookie popups? If so, it’s quasi not useful for EU based web sites.

It does, you just have to set up a chrome profile that has an extension to hide cookie popups, or use a profile where you've already accepted/closed them and have a session.

You can archive with any chrome profile with arbitrary extensions enabled, so you can use uBlock, I still Don't care about cookies, Ghostery, etc.

How do you set this up? I found this relevant issue[1] but it doesn't explain how to get it working.
