Before settling on a desktop application, we contemplated designing Bumblebee +as a browser extension. We decided against that because we didn’t want the +browser vendors to dictate Bumblebee’s capabilities. Besides, the company’s +security policy, which prohibited browser extensions, would have complicated +the deployment of an extension-based solution. The initial prototype used a C# +wrapper of the Chromium project instead of WebView. WebView’s more intuitive API and its seamless integration with Windows Forms led us to choose it over the Chromium wrapper.

Bumblebee predictably reduced the time we spent on authoring scripts from hours +to a few minutes. Since the code generation rules were written and optimized by +experts in web technologies, the quality of the scripts improved as well.
