Victor,

I am closing this bug as expected behavior. When no browser test is running there are no spikes, I stay consistently dimmed at 76. I can however, make it spike my simulating clicks/mouse input. For example, this output shows the brightness every 30 seconds:

76
76
76
76
76
76
76
76 <-- then I simulated a click with: xdotool click 1 and...
252 <-- The brightness spiked up to 252.
76 <-- then settled back to 76
76

I'm convinced that since your extension simulates browsing by scrolling and causing input events that it's pushing the brightness back to full. This is the expected and correct behavior for screen dimming.
