• Supports using a HTTP proxy.
• Supports event hooks for requests and responses.
• Supports parsing, setting, loading, and saving cookies.
• Supports saving screenshots into a directory or git repository.
• Small memory footprint (~50Kb Ruby + ~600Kb headless Chrome).
• Has 81% documentation coverage.
• Has 82% test coverage.

Initialize a headless browser:

browser = Ronin::Web::Browser.new
# ...
browser.quit

Initialize a visible browser:

browser = Ronin::Web::Browser.new(visible: true)
# ...
browser.quit

Opening a temporary browser and automatically quitting:

Ronin::Web::Browser.open do |browser|
  # ...
end

Initializing the browser with a proxy:

browser = Ronin::Web::Browser.new(proxy: "http:https://proxy.example.com:8080")
# ...

Go to and screenshot a webpage:

Ronin::Web::Browser.open do |browser|
  browser.go_to("https://google.com")
  browser.screenshot(path: "google.png")
end

Intercept all requests:

browser = Ronin::Web::Browser.new
browser.every_request do |request|
  puts "> #{request.method} #{request.url}"
end

browser.go_to("https://twitter.com/login")

Intercept all responses for all requests:

browser = Ronin::Web::Browser.new
browser.every_response do |response,request|
  puts "> #{request.method} #{request.url}"

  puts "< HTTP #{response.status}"

  response.headers.each do |name,value|
    puts "< #{name}: #{value}"
  end

  puts response.body
end

browser.go_to("https://twitter.com/login")

Evaluate JavaScript within the current page:

browser = Ronin::Web::Browser.new
browser.goto('https://github.com')
browser.eval_js('document.cookie')
# => "..."

Load a JavaScript file into the current page as a <script> tag:

browser.load_js(url: 'https://.../file.js')

Load JavaScript code into the current page as a <script> tag:

browser.load_js(content: '...')

Inject JavaScript code into every page:

browser.inject_js('...')
