I installed the extension because why not, then I noticed it was only crawling spam pages and redirect links that were being abused for spam... I guess it's kind of expected but not sure how I feel about it
Though, it's still a very cool idea, maybe an option to crawl sites I visit would be nice?

I had an extension installed for a while that submitted pages to the Internet Archive automatically, but it was a constant battle to remember to denylist any sites that were personal (bank, doctor, whatever) before visiting them. That was before I was heavy into the Firefox containers setup, so if I were to try that again I'd try to find a way to disable it for those containers (which, come to think of it, may be yet another container feature request)
Having thought a little further about your suggestion, I could imagine an extension that merely submitted the window.location.origin to the search engine and let it index the site, as a heuristic for "this site is popular enough to have received a visit in the past hour/day/whatever" but with Mwmbl specifically that'd put things back in a loop since it would send the site back to your browser to index it for them
I sure do hope Mwmbl's extension is not using the full browser context to make requests, otherwise any request to index mail.google.com would be no bueno
