When opening a loot box, I would junk cards I'm not interested in, and middle-click the Infos button on cards I want to load on their own page to decide what to do.
What was wrong with that:
After selling or gifting or anything on the 1st card page opened in the previous way, other card pages had to be reloaded before use, else they would reload with a security error message, and the attempted action would not have worked.
What I do with the script:
When opening a loot box, I junk cards I'm not interested in, middle-click the Info button for the 1st remaining card after that, then use the "Add to cards queue"
button from the script for the remaining cards.
Then, after doing what I had to do with the card page loaded through a middle-click, I click the "Next element in queue[X]" (where X is the number of elements in queue), that load the page of a card added to queue, removing that card from the queue.
Advantages:
For player, no more unnecessary reload to do, or security error to face.
For server, only send the card page once.

Technicalities:
-The GM methods are used, because other methods of storage would not work with Firefox 69 in permanent privacy mode.
-The queue only store urls that aren't tied to a nation.
-When the last card is taken out of the queue, the queue is removed from storage.The idea would be to prevent the data to be written to disk.No idea if that's what really happen.
I don't really like web programming or javascript, but I hope I still managed to make something that can be useful to some.
