Summary

Version 10.1.1 is a branding update

⚑ iMacros is part of the Progress Software Corporation product portfolio (progress.com/products)

iMacros is designed to automate the most repetitious tasks on the web. If there’s an activity you have to do repeatedly, just record it in iMacros. The next time you need to do it, the entire macro will run at the click of a button! With iMacros, you can quickly and easily fill out web forms, remember passwords, create a web mail notifier, and more. You can keep the macros on your computer for your own use, use them within bookmark sync, or share them with others by embedding them on your homepage, blog, company intranet or any social bookmarking service. The uses are limited only by your imagination!

Popular uses are as web macro recorder, form filler on steroids and highly-secure password manager (256-bit encryption).

Web developers use iMacros for web regression testing, performance testing and web transaction monitoring. It can also be combined with Google Speed Tracer, Firebug and other web development and test tools. XPath and CSS selector support is included.

iMacros can be combined with Greasemonkey style content scripts and the macros can be started via the command line e. g. via the Windows task scheduler, batch files or a Linux cron job.

You can combine iMacros with popular ad-blocking extensions to further speed up your web automation tasks.

Macros recorded with iMacros for Chrome are compatible with other versions of iMacros. All iMacros versions combined have millions of active users, making it the most popular web browser automation tool.

Safety

Risk impact

iMacros for Chrome requires a lot of risky permissions and is not safe to use. Avoid installing this extension unless you absolutely trust this publisher.

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypass your security settings, and access your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Risk likelihood

iMacros for Chrome has earned a good reputation and can be trusted.

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been around, and other signals about the Chrome extension. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Chrome extension, especially ones with higher risk impact and/or higher risk likelihood.
