Basically, the way the Selenium detection works, is that they test for predefined JavaScript variables which appear when running with Selenium. The bot detection scripts usually look anything containing word “selenium” / “webdriver” in any of the variables (on window object), and also document variables called $cdc_ and $wdc_. Of course, all of this depends … Read more
Underlying cause: Content scripts are executed in an “isolated world” environment. Solution: Inject the code into the page using DOM – that code will be able to access functions/variables of the page context (“main world”) or expose functions/variables to the page context (in your case it’s the state() method). Note in case communication with the … Read more
What are the target browsers? Different browsers set different default CSS rules. Try including a CSS reset, such as the meyerweb CSS reset or normalize.css, to remove those defaults. Google “CSS reset vs normalize” to see the differences.
Apr 2022: autocomplete=”off” still does not work in Chrome, and I don’t believe it ever has after looking through the Chromium bugs related to the issue (maybe only for password fields). I see issues reported in 2014 that were closed as “WontFix”, and issues still open and under discussion [1][2]. From what I gather the … Read more
Right-click an object in Chrome’s console and select Store as Global Variable from the context menu. It will return something like temp1 as the variable name. Chrome also has a copy() method, so copy(temp1) in the console should copy that object to your clipboard. Note on Recursive Objects: If you’re trying to copy a recursive … Read more

See examples below. The second misconception is that WebSocket is not widely supported in the browsers. See below for more info. The third misconception is … Read more
Found the solution after some searching. You need to add a <meta> tag in your <head> containing name=”theme-color”, with your HEX code as the content value. For example: <meta name=”theme-color” content=”#999999″ /> Update: If the android device has native dark-mode enabled, then this meta tag is ignored. Chrome for Android does not use the color … Read more
Prevent autocomplete of username (or email) and password: <input type=”email” name=”email”><!– Can be type=”text” –> <input type=”password” name=”password” autocomplete=”new-password”> Prevent autocomplete a field (might not work): <input type=”text” name=”field” autocomplete=”nope”> Explanation: autocomplete still works on an <input>despite having autocomplete=”off”, but you can change off to a random string, like nope. Others “solutions” for disabling the … Read more
You can now do this in most “modern” browsers! Here is the original article I read (posted July 10, 2010): HTML5: Changing the browser-URL without refreshing page. For a more in-depth look into pushState/replaceState/popstate (aka the HTML5 History API) see the MDN docs. TL;DR, you can do this: window.history.pushState(“object or string”, “Title”, “/new-url”); See my … Read more
You can use debugger; within your code. If the developer console is open, execution will break. It works in firebug as well.
