-j JAVASCRIPT, --javascript JAVASCRIPT
Start some javascript after loading. May be a long string containing JS or a filename.
-c CSS, --css CSS Apply user-css. May be a long string containing CSS or a filename.
"-" as a filename for -j for -c won't work. (But each file is read only
once, so you can use named pipes or fifos) Files are autodetected first, so if
you start e.g.:
./webkit.py -j 'document.querySelectorAll(".footer").forEach(x=>x.style.display="none")' 'https://www.wikipedia.org'and happen to have a file called document.querySelectorAll(".footer").forEach(x=>x.style.display="none")
in the current directory, the file is loaded (otherwise the JS will be execute as expected).
This also means that missing files are ignored silently (interpreted as JS/CSS which will probably fail).
Here is the same result for -c (just for the sake of this example):
./webkit.py -c '.footer{display:none}' 'https://www.wikipedia.org'Use CSS to customize pages whenever you can. Custom JS tends to slow down startup/loading and is also applied only once on initial loading, not for any subsequent page-loads (clicking on a link or something). Custom CSS is applied to every page.
