Running scripts in background #12

Closed rupakkarki27 closed 4 months ago

Hey @ruifigueira, awesome work here and thank you for this.

I just wanted to ask a quick question. Is it possible to run our scripts in the background without visibly opening a tab in the browser and only navigate to the page once the script is complete? I have been trying to figure this out but can't seem to get anywhere.

Thanks.

Playwright CRX actually runs in the extension service worker, that is, in background, but to do anything useful it needs a tab that it can attach to.

I don't think there's a way to actually have hidden tabs in chrome. You can however create a collapsed tabGroup and add your tabs to it (see collapsed property in chrome.tabGroups.update.

Hey @ruifigueira, thank you for playwright-crx, I was wondering if you had any contribution page where we can contribute to.

Happy holidays. Took me a while to get back to this. @ruifigueira, I appreciate the work you do and how responsive you've been. Do you have means to accept monetary donations ($500) like github sponsorship, paypal, or venmo?
