    A real challenge to a work manager that juggles tabs automatically is that in Chrome, a tab loses its handle on another tab that it generated if that tab changes its URL (which is something that happens every time you submit a HIT). Nonstandard behavior, but it's the behavior of the most popular browser. So that's a major sticking point for me, since it messes with how I imagined I'd put together the tool.

    It's easy to see why Chrome decided to do it that way, because it can be a security issue.

    Otherwise, if you later choose to open your bank account in a tab that happened to haven been opened earlier by a script, that script could access any bank info you can see on your screen.

    So I have to decide whether I want to do it differently, or force people to work out of Firefox instead.

    Nice!! Easy peasy. Took me about a half hour, which included going back over carefully to make sure I didn't miss any questions. Sure enough, I caught one that I skipped!!

    When I just tried to submit it they wouldn't let me because it said I missed answering a question. I then answered the one I missed than it let me submit. So maybe they have something in place now that makes sure you answer all the questions?

    I keep wanting to get one, but I don't think I would actually use it.

    Totally. Even though it took me longer than most of the other ones, I liked playing detective.

    Do you happen to have Google's Data Saver extension installed? It was breaking tts for me somehow the other day, so I had to dump it.

    Another win for separate profiles - only run Data Saver in the profile you use to work your HITs.

    That way, you get the benefit of Data Saver when it would significantly decrease loading time for a HIT, but no compatibility issues.

    Data Saver breaks HIT Notifier, too, so I don't have it running in my "finders" profile.

    Works decent until you want to make more than 2 browsing contexts.
