Chrome extension - Use a event page or some other tool like Tampermonkey?
I want to create my own extension. I often open multiple tabs & using another extension download a file. But then I have 10 or more file names like 721234.flv which does not help me know what the file is.
I want to write a script/extension that scans the tabs, if the URL matches a specific web site, it should look for the number, user name, short-description and generate a "rename '111111.flv' '<username>-<description>.flv' string.
Does some utility exist or write my own extension?

Note: I did find "extensionizr" that lets you pick some options and it will generate the stub of a Chrome extension that looks pretty sweet:

Tampermonkey - I thought this could be used to stop animated gif's and various adds that take seconds for web pages to load. Now it's called a tool to help you manage your user scripts. It's a strange tool that might do what I want, but I cannot find examples.
