So let me see if I have this straight.
KVS is a specialized web browser. One that I'm prohibited from ascertaining which websites it visits, yet I assume all the responsibility for accessing such websites?
That's cute.

I don't have the know-how. If I did, I would make a scraper to scrape EF or a bunch of other websites, like automatically requesting upgrades when the window opens, automatically re-seat when a seat opens etc.
Please don't ruin the party by putting KVS out of business. He is serving me (and probably a bunch of others) well.
If you want to use a traditional web browser, use EF!!
The format is quite nice. In the past, when many of the old methods still existed, the sites where the data is available often required you to have an understanding of Russian, Japanese, etc. if you wanted to have any shot at getting the data yourself. For that purpose, the tool is worth its subscription fee. I have made such tools myself (including some to help me deal with dysfunctional travel websites) that were much more crude than KVS, and believe me they're not easy to build or maintain. We are now unfortunately in an era where the airlines are flexing their muscle and the means of obtaining data are becoming an increasingly gray area or worse. This is where KVS stops being a specialized web browser, and instructions - explicit or coy - for making certain methods of the tool work become dangerous.
