-Generic and per-site behavior scripts
+Behavior scripts (i.e. subclasses of Behavior) are a powerful method to
+manipulate websites loaded into Chrome. They are executed by the controller
+after the page started loading (onload), after it has been idle for a while
+(onstop) and after loading was stopped (onfinish).
+
+The script’s excercise their power either through DevTools API calls or by
+injecting JavaScript into the page context. Thus they can manipulate both, the
+browser itself (DevTools; modify resolution, get DOM snapshot) as well as the
+page (JavaScript; trigger JavaScript events, call web API’s).
+
+They also emit (yield) data processable by any consumer registered to the
+controller. This allows storing captured screenshots inside WARC files, for
+instance.
