This is awesome. I've been dreaming about this for weeks.

I don't know if it is possible, but could this run as a Chrome Extension, in a background script, loading various pages, executing code on then and keep going, storing the data at the extension's localStorage?

It could also store the code of the scrapers, for reusing.

Well, I see you already have almost all I suggested. Now I would want something to make the ajaxSpider render the pages using the browser engine, instead of just getting pure HTML.

This is an interesting point. I created an issue on the github repository concerning this matter. Maybe you'd like to comment on it about your use case so we can improve the tool?
