Nice to see new tooling around multi/meta searching. It is a great idea to implement it as an extension, because that way you act as the current user while protecting their privacy.
Hi HN, I made this after getting inspired by Swurl which was posted recently on Show HN. Since I visit almost the same set of websites daily for news, entertainment, and search, I figured something like this might be helpful.
XFrame is a website (https://xframe.app) and Chrome extension combo. It lets you:
- embed your favorite websites on the home page
- do multisearch in a single page
Privacy:
- I don't collect anything. It runs on local storage.
- The extension simply removes the response headers that prevent you from embedding websites in iframes.
- The extension's functionality is restricted to the iframes in https://xframe.app.
Drawbacks:
- Websites with login functionality may not work properly due to iframe cookie restrictions
