Hello,

It is possible to [extend Browser library with javascript keywords](https://marketsquare.github.io/robotframework-browser/Browser.html#Extending%20Browser%20library%20with%20a%20JavaScript%20module).

I wonder how small or complex these javascript should be. Should I make them rather technical and construct compound keywords in robot? I can imagine that switching a lot between robot and javascript may have consequence.  
On the other hand, if i make bigger keywords in javascript, i may loose debug options.

What do you recommend?

Regards,  
Markus
