Could you build this?
Partial A browser extension doing reverse-search or swapping image URLs is simple, but running browser-based client-side AI upscaling (WebGPU/WASM) alongside scraping 9,000+ site image resolution rules requires extensive reverse-engineering.
What it would actually take: The frontend is a browser extension using WebExtension APIs and WebGPU/ONNX Runtime Web for local super-resolution models (e.g., Real-ESRGAN). The challenging aspects are compiling and optimizing ML models to execute reliably across diverse client GPUs without crashing tabs, plus curating and maintaining URL rewriting regexes and API scrapers across thousands of evolving web domains.
