System and method for browser-based target data extraction

A client computing device, comprising:

• a memory storing a browser application and a browser extension, the browser extension containing a predefined network identifier;
• a display;
• an input assembly;
• and
• a controller interconnected with the memory, the display and the input assembly;
• the controller configured to:
• execute the browser application to retrieve a web page containing target data;
• execute the browser extension simultaneously with the browser application to:
• capture a portion of the web page containing the target data;
• extract the target data from the captured portion of the web page;
• responsive to capturing the portion, control the display to render (i) an overlay interface including the target data, and (ii) the web page;
• receive a confirmation command at the overlay via the input assembly;
• and
• in response to the confirmation command, transmit the target data to a server using the predefined network identifier.
