vivaldi-autoinject-custom-js-ui - manage custom js UI mods for the vivaldi web browser

installation

If you use Arch Linux you can get vivaldi-autoinject-custom-js-ui from AUR.

Use the Makefile to do a systemwide installation of both the script and the manpage.

(configure the installation destination in the Makefile, if needed)

$ git clone https://github.com/budlabs/vivaldi-autoinject-custom-js-ui.git
$ cd vivaldi-autoinject-custom-js-ui
# make install
$ vivaldi-autoinject-custom-js-ui -v
vivaldi-autoinject-custom-js-ui - version: 2020.11.22.7

usage

To manually add custom javascript modifications to the vivaldi web browser one needs to do the following:

• Add the javascript file to vivaldis resource directory (on arch this is /opt/vivaldi/resources/vivaldi)

• Add an entry in the browser.html file in the same directory.

This is not too complicated, but I have noticed that when vivaldi is being updated, the browser.html file is overwritten, meaning that step 2 needs to be repeated after every update.

It also gets a bit messy to manage multiple mods.

If vivaldi-autoinject-custom-js-ui is launched without any command line arguments, it will update the browser.html file to include all javascript files located in PREFIX/share/vivaldi-UI-js, (PREFIX will be inherited by the Makefile on installation, but defaults to: /usr). The vivaldi-UI-js/ directory is automatically created by the script when new mods are added.

Any files with .js extension passed as arguments will get added or updated.

To remove a mod, pass the filename of the mod to the --remove option.

If the script is executed on Arch Linux, it will install a pacman hook (alpm-hooks(5)) that will execute the script everytime vivaldi is being updated.
