Ask HN: Is there a hackable web browser?
Is there a browser, that allows us to change DOM on the fly, without all the restrictions of chrome extensions ( even mozilla is doing web extensions ) like saving to hard disk, script injection, and being more developer friendly ?
- TheRoccoB 9y agoElectron?
- bootcat 9y agoSO electron is again chrome. Doesn't it shield DOM and allow access only through content scripts. SO isn't the same model available in Electron ?
- smt88 9y agoVivaldi might be your best bet: https://vivaldi.com https://vivaldi.com Interacting with disk isn't easy with Chrome, but using something like Styler or GreaseMonkey (or whatever it's called now) lets you mess with a page however you want. The overhead of an extension is pretty small, once you actually build it and set your browser to developer mode.
- bootcat 9y agodoes vivaldi, have a plugin framework, that help us interact and save dom nodes ?
- Someone 9y agoIt doesn't seem to be actively developed, and may not work well out of the box, but https://www.uzbl.org/ https://www.uzbl.org/ may be an option, or at least give some inspiration.
- bootcat 9y agoThank you for the reference. Seems promising, but let me use and see !
