support browser extensions / using default profile

[7flash]

My app frontend app requires to invoke user wallet which is installed as a separate browser extension

Unfortunately, when running Chrome window with webui, it seems to create a new user profile with no extensions installed

How can I change the code to use existing user profile with existing extensions?

You can modify the code quickly and remove the command line argument that uses the webui profile: https://github.com/webui-dev/webui/blob/2f22d6c280332632532a07191cd49a80a6abc842/src/webui.c#L3474C11-L3474C11

Change:

c = sprintf(buffer, " --user-data-dir=\"%s\"", win->profile_path);

To:

c = sprintf(buffer, " ");

This will effect all Chromium-based bowsers.

For Firefox:

https://github.com/webui-dev/webui/blob/2f22d6c280332632532a07191cd49a80a6abc842/src/webui.c#L3496

Change:

c = sprintf(buffer, " -P WebUI -purgecaches");

To:

c = sprintf(buffer, " -purgecaches");

Thank you @7flash @AlbertShown for the report. I will implement a new API to make it easier.

webui_set_profile(profileName, profilePath)

Implemented https://github.com/webui-dev/webui/commit/a616991ca679f0646bf35d580443e101369273ce.

To set your custom profile:

webui_set_profile(
    myWindow, 
    "Bar", // Your profile name, usually needed for Firefox
    "/Home/Foo/Bar" // Your profile folder, usually needed for Chrome
);

To simply let WebUI use the user default profile:

webui_set_profile(myWindow, "", "");
