I do that for the background scraping. (via userscript that parses the data out of the page I visit and stores info to database in the background)

So for example if I buy some electronics module on aliexpress, my scrapper automatically saves all the product description and images to the database right from the browser as I'm making the order.

These details usually contain vital info to use the module, so it's important to me to have an easily searchable reference for all this information. I really don't trust myself to collect all the necessary info manually.
