    A silly JavaScript-free web browser in the browser2022 · ▲10

    This is a browser front-end (ultra simple) for Chrome, built using puppeteer. I like it because it provides a usable single browser tab (that conveniently crashes on certificate errors (thanks to puppeteers default flags which I haven't altered here)), without using any JS scripting on the client side. There's some clever hacks to get that to work, including stylesheet media queries (to zero in on the correct viewport dimensions), and MJPEG, a crazy HTTP keep-alive way to stream JPEG frames of a video, favored by old-style CCTV/security/web cameras allegedly. I noticed it went from…

    I've been working on browser automation infrastructure for a while and kept hitting the same ceiling: Playwright and Puppeteer are great for scripting but fall apart when you need stealth at scale. Cloud-based solutions like Browserbase work but you're sending all your data to a third party and can't control the environment. So we built Owl Browser, a self-hosted Chromium-based engine that runs in a single Docker container. The core technical problem we tried to solve was fingerprint consistency. Most browser automation tools either ignore fingerprinting entirely or apply surface-level…

  • Web page that parses and explains the label on a bike tire▲631

    History: Last year I had to replace the tire on my bike, and I was surprised how difficult it was to find a suitable new tire. There were a lot of numbers written on the casing, so I googled what they meant. In the end I was successful, but I didn't want to do the same work again for the next bike after I've forgotten the details. So I wrote this website. Technically, the web page is kept very simple, no frameworks, no templates, no website builder. It uses HTML5, CSS and JavaScript, and it privides a responsive layout for mobile usage. I'm happy to receive feedback. If you have tried the…
