Could you build this?
Partial The Chrome extension UI is straightforward, but client-side perceptual hashing, deduplication across thousands of unindexed images, and safely automating Google Photos DOM or API actions is tricky.
What it would actually take: The extension requires running perceptual hashing (like pHash or dHash) and perceptual similarity models (e.g., lightweight CLIP or MobileNet via WebAssembly/TensorFlow.js) directly inside the browser sandbox. It also necessitates reverse-engineering Google Photos' internal web client DOM or batched private endpoints to extract image thumbnails and execute batch deletions without hitting rate limits or triggering security flags.
