Description
For URL capturing, detecting changes, and rerunning a job when the URL changes, you can use the **`History API`** or **`MutationObserver`** in JavaScript. Here's a concise approach:
### Solution
1. **URL Capturing & Change Detection**:
Use the **`window.location`** object and intercept URL changes with `popstate`, `pushState`, or `replaceState` using the `History API`.
2. **Run Job on URL Change**:
Set a listener for these changes and rerun your job logic.

Research direction
Start by locating the extension's URL-capturing and job logic. Review how window.location and the History API events popstate, pushState, and replaceState could support URL change detection. Done means the job reruns when the page URL changes.
