It'd be nice if it produced a list of bounding boxes + URL's you'd get if you clicked on the bounding box.

Then it'd be close to my dream of a serverless web browser service, where the client just renders a clickmap .png or .webp, and the requests go to a farm of "one request per page load" ephemeral web browser instances. The web browsers could cache the images + clickmaps they return in an S3 bucket.

Assuming the farm of browsers had a large number of users, this would completely defeat fingerprinting + cookies. It'd also provide an archive (as in durable, not as in high quality) of the browsed static content.
