NAME¶

edbrowse-plugin-chrome - render a page with headless Chrome for edbrowse

SYNOPSIS¶

edbrowse-plugin-chrome url

DESCRIPTION¶

edbrowse-plugin-chrome is a helper invoked by edbrowse(1) through the plugin config fragments installed in /usr/share/edbrowse/plugins. It is not normally run by hand.

It drives a headless Chrome through Selenium, waits for the page to settle, and writes the resulting HTML to standard output. This is meant for pages whose content only appears after scripting that edbrowse's own engine cannot run. Images are disabled.

edbrowse selects it by prefixing the URL with chrmrndr://, which the script strips again; a plain path is accepted too and is converted to a file:// URL.

DEPENDENCIES¶

Needs python3-selenium and a Chrome or Chromium binary with a matching driver. Neither is pulled in by the package, since the plugin is optional.

EXIT STATUS¶

Non-zero if no URL was given, or if Chrome cannot be started.
