For clarification, HC will be able to toss data over to HF. Just like when you click a panda and you get the no HITs message, how you can see HITs as if you searched for them, HC recieves this data. So instead of it being a wasted scrape, it can now display the HITs if you have choose to do so.
Uses: You can be running HC to try and catch w/, and have HF open but not running, and you will still be shown HITs as if it were running.
This serves as an additional way to reduce page requests, partially negate the need to run on worker and www simultaneously, but there are some drawbacks. If HC is accepting HITs, there won't be anything to display on HF, it is only able to display what is default shown to you on here https://www.mturk.com/mturk/findhits?match=true, so there isn't anyway to search by reward or stuff like that. If HF is running and you have the option checked, it will add stuff to the logged HITs, and alert you if stuff was found or not like usual, but won't be displayed in the found hits section.
