The showstopping bug (or misfeature?) reported by others was brushed off, and my comment was ignored. It didn't seem like the path forward would be a pleasant one, so I've uninstalled Wez and gone back to a terminal that works for me. So yes, you could say it was a negative experience. I gave Wez a try as my daily driver, but it just didn’t pan out despite my efforts.

If you're like me and only looking for CO2 monitor, here is a short story.

I was researching all the sensors and kits and was narrowing down on AirGradient actually. Per my research the best last gen CO2 sensors are from swiss Sensirion SCD4x series. So I started looking how to build something on it etc.

While poking around, by pure chance I saw that Sensirion makes SCD4x-CO2-Gadget which is SCD41 sensor with LED indicator and BLE and powered by USB the size of flash drive.

So, you can just stick it in USB charger anywhere and either use visuals or a mobile app that will show the number or import data for a chart. All for $60 from official Sensirion dealer like digikey.

I don't mean to sound like an Ad, but it's the best sensor as far as I know, for least cost and nothing to solder (perhaps a negative for some :) No affiliation.

Hi, that's a pleasant surprise. Thanks. Some QA and possible suggestions:

1. exclude chrome:// and about:// URL's

2. Not sure how, but it would be nice to one-click restore an item from Trash back to where it was. Alternatively, perhaps mark in-place instead of moving to Trash? Then it's easy to spot them and manually remove. Also I got quite a few false positive sites with valid certs etc. Increase timeout perhaps?

3. this might be impossible, but I wonder if there is a way in chrome to download /favicon.png without opening the whole page in a new tab.
