Show HN: A browser extension to control Google's Random Number Generator

TLDR: Built a simple extension to see how easily client-side logic can be manipulated. It lets you pre-select the winner of a basic online raffle as a sort of "magic trick."

First time posting a project on HN. First public github repo also. Keen on feedback.

I was exploring how browser extensions can interact with and modify a page's state in real-time, specifically what kind of access was needed to intercept a process without breaking the UI. The test tool was a bit of fun on its own, so I polished it up and decided to post it here.
