Issues/limitations

  • Puppeteer's incognito mode starts with just one tab; you have to add more tabs manually, and it doesn't work with Edge
  • Playwright with User Data Directory (aka persistent context) also only launch with 1 tab; need manually to add new tab, but the new tabs may or may not register correctly (event doesn't fire mostly, bug?), and noted that the initial tab won't work correctly - no pick button. You either launch a new page from the initial page's link or duplicate it to see the pick button show up
  • SoundCloud no longer lets users listen without logging in; Puppeteer has trouble with this due to COR error, but and disable web security doesn't help since it removed origin from requests - SoundCould doesn't like that, but you can switch to Playwright to log in (you would stay logged in by using user profile)
  • Ubuntu's Chromium at /snap/bin/chromium doesn't work - not sure why

Notes

  • The TODO - Seek backward/forward setting option <-- totally forgot what this one is about
  • Persistent Context in Playwright: when you launch without a user profile/User Data Directory Incognito mode is for Puppeteer only; it can only create one tab programmatically. Coincidentally, Playwright's persistent context also restricts to one tab only
  • It seems like Playwright refers to launching the browser without User Data Directory as Incognito/InPrivate mode, which kind of makes sense except it doesn't have the dark theme associated with it
  • Puppeteer follows the same direction for incognito mode, although it still has the --incognito flag, which actually enables the dark theme for incognito mode. However, you can't create new tabs within the same window programmatically
  • Stopped looking into playwright/ppt-extra modules since those are all inactive
  • Discovered that playwright-core cannot be bundled with webpack during publishing 😵, unlike puppeteer-core. As a result, the entire module must be copied, which increases the file count from 19 to 352 and the package size from 1.41MB to 2.34MB

Links

[3.0.0] - November 2024

  • Fix the bug for CSP
  • Add Chinese for treeview buttons
  • Improve treeview with more buttons
  • Migrate to ESlint@9
  • Stop using bundler
  • Optimize SVGs again using svgo
  • Refer image from documentation to GitHub link to reduce extension size
  • Remove setting for Brave browser
  • Update logo
  • webpack 5.96.1 compiled successfully in 17898 ms
  • 14 files, 243.83 KB, 1.95.0

Notes

  • I18n isn't necessary
  • It seems like the VSCode extension sample code has moved to use esbuild instead of webpack, but you can pick either one
  • esbuild appears to be faster; however, after using webpack, it gave out errors every time the project was updated, and it was time-consuming to correct them --> this project doesn't use a bundler anymore Have to bundle dependencies and esbuild doesn't support it --> back to webpack since node_modules is huge
  • The logo has been changed for consistency with its menu vector
  • Not sure if the Brave setting is still relevant

[2.2.0] - September 2024

  • Youtube CSP bypass #15
  • webpack 5.94.0 compiled successfully in 8730 ms
  • 20 files, 1.4MB, 1.93.0

Notes

  • Chrome team added the Trusted Types to YouTube - thanks Matthew for the info
  • There is probably a proper way to comply with the new security requirement but yeah, one shortcut is just to bypass it by disabling the CSP
  • It seems like the webpack in old project/machine that used to publish this extension is no longer combining files, another package stats from the new machine:
    • webpack 5.94.0 compiled successfully in 3000 ms
    • 15 files, 1.4MB, 1.93.0

[2.1.0] - July 2024

  • Fix Spotify and YouTube Music due to its UI change
  • webpack 5.92.1 compiled successfully in 10241 ms
  • 20 files, 1.4MB, 1.91.0

Notes

  • Updating this project to 3.0 was rough, so here is the minor release
  • The Puppeteer@22 was having undesired bugs and behaviors
  • Adding puppeteer-extra on top of it = more strange behaviors
  • Why does Webpack's behavior change? - it doesn't combine files anymore

[2.0.0] - December 2021

  • Add new feature - treeview
  • Rewrite/refactor most of the code - 30+ commits
  • New float button style - old vs new in Windows
  • Fix Spotify bug due to its style class's changes
  • Fix site English version issue - observes another DOM element to update playback status
  • Merge play and pause commands into one toggle function
  • Move most of the minor inject action to inject script instead
  • Re-config project's configs like eslint, tsconfig, vscode setting, and webpack (.js -> .ts)
  • Rename directories: icon -> media, scripts -> inject
  • Playback icons are synced with the site's playback icons, which behaved contrarily before
  • Webpack 5.65.0 compiled successfully in 9980 ms
  • 15 files, 1.39MB, 1.63.0

Notes

  • This release mostly has a more significant impact on the dev side rather than a product update.
  • One funny thing is that the picture in README.md accounts for a large part of this extension's size.

MediaSession

  • Soundcloud does update playbackState but only calls set from pressing play
  • Spotify does call set to update metadata, but playbackState always none
  • Youtube and YTmusic update playbackState consistent with proxy set event

Puppeteer

  • It seems like Puppeteer doesn't keep track of pages/tabs' order
  • If clicking too quickly, this shows up: Error: Execution context is not available in detached frame "about:blank" (are you trying to evaluate?) Waiting and try/catch was fruitless
