What is Wild Spider?

Wild Spider is a Chrome extension that allows web pages to be crawled by being loaded into the browser using multiple tabs parallelly. It uses the current URL as the starting point and fetches all the links on the page to open them in multiple tabs. Please note that the more tabs you use, the more computer resources will be used.

Extension summary

Analyze keywords

WATCH OUT: more tabs you use, more computer resources (CPU, memory) will be used, and each page costs a bit disk to save the content (in IndexedDb, accessible from extensions -> Inspect views: background page).

The "spider" works in this way:

The current url is used as the starting point, and it's loaded again in a new tab.
After this page is loaded, fetch all the links on the page.
Get all the links on the page, including relative urls.
Open the extracted link parallelly in all the tabs used (by default 3, set in eventPage).
repeat 2-4
