Button Stealer - “Steal” a button from every website you open

Button Stealer works automatically. Do your usual everyday online stuff and watch the collection of your stolen buttons grow. It's fun, useless, and free!

Button Stealer works locally and doesn't send data anywhere, so your data remains private.

Ha, this is so fun. It's like collecting license plates on the internet!

Fun idea.. but I'm trying to think the need for this? What would I do with all these buttons? Utility wise is there anything else apart from collecting them for fun?

@msnkarthik Button Stealer was part of my Stolen Buttons project. I used it to collect buttons and automatically post them on my website https://anatolyzenkov.com/stolen.... Otherwise it's fun, useless and free

This is an interesting concept! But I'm curious about how exactly the Button Stealer identifies and collects these buttons. Is there a specific technique it uses to differentiate between various web elements? Also, how does it handle potential conflicts when buttons have similar appearances? Since it operates locally and keeps data private, how do you ensure that the UX is still seamless without affecting site performance? Just wondering if there are any limitations we should be aware of while using this tool. Looking forward to hearing more about it!

Like the idea of it. Why the word "useless" in description?

This is such a funny idea 😂 Feels like collecting pokemon cards or grinding that camo on call of duty. Gonna collect 100s of buttons to get my gold button 😂

This is such a unique concept, @anatolyzenkov! I love the idea of turning something mundane into a fun activity. Can't wait to try it out and see how many buttons I can collect.

This is hilarious! 😂 It's like a digital scavenger hunt for buttons, except you don’t even have to leave your couch. Major kudos to @anatolyzenkov for cooking up this quirky gem. Can't wait to see how many buttons I can "steal" while procrastinating on my real work! Just a reminder to keep the UX smooth, though, or I might need my own button collecting therapy!

Looks cool! What happens if I 'steal' too many?

How does it determine what constitutes a "button" on different websites?

Those who get it, get it 😅 It's fun, and not as useless as we might think.
