If you're OK with having separate windows, you can use a different profile for each one. Chrome handles this much better than firefox. For example, I silo my facebook browsing with: chrome --app= https://facebook.com --user-data-dir=/hom

When the display only has black and white pixels, you can XOR the a "sprite", or image to the screen to draw it, and XOR the same sprite in to the same location again to undraw it. The advantages are that you don't have to redraw the entir

Perhaps you could get the data from mint as well? It seems like they had a way to export CSV.
