so can you use greasemonkey to follow links, load new page, parse new page, just like a headless crawler?

  I think you can use a 3rd party backend service to store state of the crawler. So, when page reloads, you know which state you are in.

    right. so basically a greasemonkey script is scoped to the current page? Is there any scripting solution that is not scoped to current page? In chrome maybe?

      Browser automation via (realistically Seleniun) WebDriver or a proxy that inserts scripts (like TestCafe).

        selenium with webdriver(io) or phantomjs. I like selenium more, though.
