> Show all images on the page in a grid with size and megapixel tags. Useful for manual scraping. Would you mind sharing that one?

Sure. Note that it does some hqdefault vs maxresdefault loading logic for yt, which you can rip away if not needed and make it a little smaller. Also splits images into two sections, 1st all >= HD-sized pics, 2nd the rest. It still doesn't analyze css bg urls, I'm too lazy for walking the stylesheets. Click again to hide it. Images must be initially on-screen, so scroll the site down if it lazy loads them.

It uses semicolons, so is pasteable as-is in a bookmark's address field.

License is full surrender anonymous public domain, in case that matters.

Bonus for fellow scraper: AHK script for saving images. Hover over an image in the grid and press alt-shift-s. It will rclick, type i, s, enter etc. I bound it to my mouse side button to save images under cursor without going through menus.

  ; Alt-Shift-s (&image -> &save image)
  !+s::
  Click, right
  Sleep, 350
  Send, i
  Sleep, 100
  Send, s
  WinWaitActive, Save As,, 5
  if ErrorLevel
  {
     SoundBeep, 150, 300
     return
  }
  Sleep, 100
  Send, {Enter}
  return
