- Notes app AppleScript replaced with a plain text file export (works everywhere, not just macOS) - chromedriver autodiscovery now also checks Linux paths, error messages tell you what to install on both platforms - user-agent swapped for a generic Linux string - README rewritten with real Linux install instructions (apt/yum) - new --a12-a13 flag extends the iOS ceiling to 26.0.1 for XS/XR and iPhone 11 series (A12/A13 chips), mirrors the existing --legacy flow - --browser firefox picks Firefox + geckodriver instead of Chrome; webdriver-manager downloads the driver on first run, same as before - interactive mode asks which browser to use

What changed
Got the script running properly on Linux and threw in a couple of new modes while I was in there.
Linux
osascriptto talk to the Notes app, which just dies on Linux. It now writes a plain text file tonotes/with the same grouped layout. No behavior change on macOS beyond that./usr/bin/chromedriverand/usr/local/bin/chromedriver(the old code only looked at Homebrew paths), and the failure message tells you what to install per-platform.apt install tesseract-ocr) and Fedora/CentOS (yum install tesseract), plus Linux driver setup.New flags
--a12-a13— same idea as--legacybut for iPhone XS/XR and iPhone 11 series (A12/A13 chips): extends the iOS ceiling to 26.0.1 for those devices only. iPhone 12+ still limited to the 16.x/17.x jailbreakable range.--browser firefox— uses Firefox + geckodriver instead of Chrome. geckodriver is auto-fetched by webdriver-manager on first run, just like chromedriver. Interactive mode also asks which browser you want.Verified
Ran a full headless scrape on Linux with Firefox (
--browser firefox --no-ocr): 134 unique eBay listings, JSON export works, results sorted by device then price as before.Screenshot / output sample
