Data Flow Digital Stream Engine per Libor Benes (Dr. B)

Data Flow Digital Stream Engine is a diagnostic tool that reveals the hidden weight and velocity of your connection. "Case out" the web and identify traffic jams before they slow you down. Digital Stream Engine highlights the real-time processing and visual speed. Data Flow Digital Stream focuses on the movement of data from site to browser.

🔍 WHAT IT DOES:
Operating in a persistent sidebar, the extension monitors the live communication between your browser and remote hosts:

⚡ DYNAMIC VISUALIZATION:
• Visual Speedometer: A falling binary data stream in the sidebar accelerates or slows down in real-time based on your data throughput.
• The "Traffic Jam" Indicator: Instantly see if a site is stalled or rushing data through your connection.

📊 DUAL-MODE MONITORING:
• Domain-Wide Flow: Aggregates data volume from all active tabs belonging to the same website (e.g., all open Facebook tabs).
• Single Tab Flow: Focuses on the data impact of the specific page you are currently viewing.
• State Awareness: Only tracks active data; unloaded or dormant tabs stay at zero until you engage them.

✨ KEY FEATURES:
• Persistent Ticker – KB/MB counter updates every second for incoming and outgoing data.
• Reset Function – Clear your current session data with one click to start a fresh measurement.
• High Readability – Monospace "ticker-tape" design combined with an immersive digital background.
• Smart Memory – Remembers the data volume of background sites, updating as you switch tabs.

🔒 SECURITY-FIRST:
• 100% Client-Side – Everything happens on your machine. No external pings.
• No Data Collection – Explicitly declared in the manifest.
• Safe Code – No eval() or risky DOM manipulations; built for Firefox performance.

🎯 PERFECT FOR:
• Users wanting to understand why a specific website is loading slowly.
• Remote workers monitoring background data usage and "heavy" tabs.
• Developers analyzing real-time host-to-browser data exchange.
• Privacy enthusiasts spotting unexpected background "chatter."

Data Flow Digital Stream Engine: See the weight of the Web. Spot, understand, and dodge the traffic jam.
