The browser extension

Why it exists#

Through 2026 every large job board added a check that a submission came from a person at their own computer. They take three forms:

• Scoring. One board scores every submission as it arrives and refuses the ones it reads as automated. Nothing is shown to the applicant.
• A human check on the form. One puts a challenge over its own form, which is a refusal to be automated, and I do not work around those.
• A code by email. One holds the application until a one-time code it has just emailed is typed back in.

None of those is a wall against you. They are walls against a server applying on your behalf from somewhere else, and they are right to be there. So the last step moved to where you already are: your own browser, your own connection, with you reading the filled-in form before anything is sent.

What it does#

• Reads the form on the page: every question, which are required, and what each one will accept.
• Asks me what goes in it. The answer is decided by the same code that fills a form in on my side, so the two cannot drift.
• Fills in your details, your saved answers, and the resume and cover letter written for that specific job.
• Scrolls the employer’s own submit button into view and stops there.
• Tells me it filled that application in, so the row on your applications screen can ask whether it went through.

Setting it up#

1. Add it to Chrome from the store.
2. It opens your account page. Press connect, which hands it a key issued from your account.
3. Open one of your queued applications on the board it lives on. A “Fill this in” button appears on the form itself.
4. Read what it filled in, then press the employer’s submit button.

The applications screen knows which of your rows need it. Those rows offer to open the form rather than offering a send that the board would refuse.

What it can see#

• Four job board domains and this site. It cannot read any other page, and on those four it acts only when you click it.
• What leaves your browser is the address of the job page and its access key. Nothing else. The page contents are read in the tab and sent nowhere.
• What comes back is yours and is not kept.Your answers, your resume, and that application’s cover letter, fetched per application and gone when the tab closes.
• It never uses your sign-in. It holds one key of its own, issued when you pressed connect. Revoking that key stops the extension and leaves you signed in everywhere else.

What it never does#

• Press submit. Not once, not on a setting, not unattended. The last press is yours.
• Invent an answer. A required question nobody has answered stops the fill and says which question it was.
• Work around a human check. A challenge over a form is a refusal to be automated, and I take it as one.
• Read anything else you do. No browsing history, no other tabs, no analytics, no tracking code.

When a board emails you a code#

Some employers take the form and then hold the application until a one-time code from your email is typed back in. If you have connected your mailbox, the extension waits for the page to ask, reads the code that arrived after you pressed submit, types it in, and leaves the confirm button to you. If your mailbox is not connected, it says so and shows you where the code will be.

Removing it#

Revoke its access from the extension page in your account, and remove it from Chrome the way you would any extension. Both are independent of your account: revoking the key leaves you signed in, and uninstalling the extension changes nothing about the applications you have already sent.
