3. Configure Interval & Loop
Set click delay, execution frequency, or form submission sequences. Clicks execute in background browser tabs silently.
Why Choose Smart HTML Over Coordinate Clickers
Built specifically for modern dynamic web applications and responsive design.
Background Tab Execution
Dispatches DOM events directly into target browser tabs. Your physical mouse and keyboard remain completely free.
Resilient to Resizing & Scroll
Clicks target specific HTML elements by selector, meaning moved windows, zoom levels, and page scrolling never break the run.
Works Across Chromium Browsers
Fully compatible with Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Brave, Opera, and any Chromium-based desktop browser.

Browser Extension vs Desktop Mode
Choose the appropriate automation tool for web pages versus native desktop software.
Browser Mode (Chrome Extension)
Interacts directly with the webpage Document Object Model (DOM).
- Leaves your computer mouse pointer completely free for normal daily work.
- Operates in background tabs or minimized browser windows.
- Target elements remain accurate across different screen resolutions.
Desktop Mode (RunMacro Studio)
Sends native OS-level hardware input events to active Windows windows.
- Automates native Windows apps, legacy ERP software, and local utilities.
- Uses physical mouse movements and keyboard scan codes.
- Requires the target application to remain focused on screen.

Technical Boundaries & Guidelines
Understanding browser security policies and extension boundaries.
Browser Extension Sandbox
Extensions can only interact within web pages. They cannot click native desktop applications, taskbar menus, or Windows system dialogs.
Cross-Origin iframe Restrictions
Web pages with cross-origin embedded iframes (such as bank payment widgets) may restrict script access under browser security policies.
Background Tab Timer Throttling
Chromium browsers throttle JavaScript timers in hidden background tabs. RunMacro utilizes Chrome DevTools Protocol to bypass typical tab throttling.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about the RunMacro Chrome Extension.
Does Smart HTML still work if a button moves on the page?
Yes. Because Smart HTML targets elements by unique CSS, text match, or DOM hierarchy rather than fixed screen X/Y coordinates, it reliably clicks the button even if page layout shifts, ads load, or window sizes change.
Can I click elements without moving my physical mouse?
Yes. Smart HTML dispatches events directly to the browser DOM via Chrome DevTools Protocol, leaving your physical mouse completely free for your own work.
Does the Chrome extension auto clicker work when the tab is in the background?
Yes. RunMacro Smart HTML uses native DOM event dispatching and Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP) commands directly to targeted elements. It executes clicks and interactions reliably in background tabs or minimized browser windows without moving your physical mouse cursor or interrupting your active work.
Can I use the Chrome extension independently without installing the desktop software?
Yes. The RunMacro Smart HTML extension works 100% standalone in Chrome for element inspection, selector generation, and recurring web clicks. If you later need desktop automation, Excel integrations, or file saving, you can connect it directly to RunMacro Studio.
Is the RunMacro Chrome extension free?
Yes, RunMacro Smart HTML is free to install from the Chrome Web Store. You can start automating web clicks and form entries immediately.
Does it work when the Chrome window is minimized or behind other apps?
Yes! Because Smart HTML uses Chrome DevTools Protocol to dispatch DOM events directly into the browser session, it clicks reliably even when the browser is minimized or hidden behind other windows.
Why is selector-based clicking better than screen coordinates?
Screen coordinates break whenever you resize the browser, scroll the page, or change monitors. Selector-based clicking targets the actual HTML element directly, so it always clicks the correct button regardless of position.
Does the extension work on Microsoft Edge or Brave?
Yes. All Chromium-based browsers (including Microsoft Edge, Brave, and Opera) can install and run extensions from the Chrome Web Store seamlessly.
Can I connect the Chrome extension to RunMacro desktop app?
Yes! Smart HTML integrates with RunMacro Studio, allowing you to combine web automation steps with desktop file operations and local software into one unified workflow.
