With Slimjet, we give users more choices to tune their browser to their own personal preference instead of forcing a majority style on everyone. A better solution to the problem is to use Slimjet browser, which runs on the latest Blink engine while offering more flexibity, features and options compared with Google Chrome. However, is it really wise to use an out-dated verison of Google Chrome? The answer is NO since out-dated browsers usually come with security issues. Therefore, some users want to roll back to an older version of Google Chrome to preserve a useful feature, option or support some legacy technology. It happens frequently that a user upgrades to a new version of Google Chrome and gets upset by an unpleasant feature, a missing option or an annoying bug. Google only provides an online setup file for Google Chrome which installs the latest version of Google Chrome. Why use an older version of Google Chrome? Type a Javascript expression to evaluate or "quit" to exit. The -repl flag runs Headless in a mode where you can evaluate JS expressions in the browser, right from the command line: $ chrome -headless -disable-gpu -repl -crash-dumps-dir =./tmp Check out Using headless Chrome as an automated screenshot tool. There's a great blog post from David Schnurr that has you covered. If you're looking for full page screenshots, things are a tad more involved. Running with -screenshot will produce a file named screenshot.png in the current working directory. To capture a screenshot of a page, use the -screenshot flag: chrome -headless -disable-gpu -screenshot Ĭhrome -headless -disable-gpu -screenshot -window-size = 1280,1696 Ĭhrome -headless -disable-gpu -screenshot -window-size = 412,732
The -print-to-pdf flag creates a PDF of the page: chrome -headless -disable-gpu -print-to-pdf # Taking screenshots The -dump-dom flag prints to stdout: chrome -headless -disable-gpu -dump-dom # Create a PDF
There are some useful command line flags to perform common tasks. In some cases, you may not need to programmatically script Headless Chrome. If you're on the stable channel of Chrome and cannot get the Beta, I recommend using chrome-canary: alias chrome = "/Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome"Īlias chrome-canary = "/Applications/Google\ Chrome\ Canary.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome\ Canary"Īlias chromium = "/Applications/Chromium.app/Contents/MacOS/Chromium"ĭownload Chrome Canary here. Since I'm on Mac, I created convenient aliases for each version of Chrome that I have installed.
The exact location will vary from platform to platform. See /737678.Ĭhrome should point to your installation of Chrome. Note: Right now, you'll also want to include the -disable-gpu flag if you're running on Windows.
