Thanks!, that should do it for now.

Eventually I'll need to add a tool to control the browser for automated 
testing, so I will probably also add the ability to refresh the current 
page too. So not sure if we want to spend too much effort in this, 
provided there is a intermediate solution already.

I began tagging easy issues with "good first issue", so far only one:

Best,
Rodrigo.
