== Page Mods == | == Page Mods == | ||
There are two common ways to modify web pages from the browser: | |||
* by specifying custom CSS to apply to specific pages, sites, or all web content. (This is what [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2108 Stylish extension] does.) | |||
* by letting specified scripts run modify the web page (see [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/748 Greasemonkey extension]) | |||
==== | The CSS-only approach is less powerful, yet often simpler and allows to dynamically apply and cancel custom style modifications to the page. | ||
The JavaScript-based approach allows virtually any changes to the page to be implemented, but requires special (and non-trivial) effort to implement instant application and undoing of these modifications. | |||
'''ISSUE''': Therefore, it might make sense to provide separate APIs for these two types of modifications. We'll call them "Script mods" and "Style mods" below. | |||
