Browser Recommendations

Post by sodlf159 »

I'm trying to create a macro like Automation and Selinium.
Can you recommend a browser?

I'm sorry but I don't know those frameworks enough to make a good recommendation but I guess you should use any OSR demo because you have total control over mouse and keyboard events.

Oh, a lot has changed.

What's the difference?

It goes into the original soft input.
Does this mean that OSB is entered as a hard input?

Browsers in "off screen rendering" mode, also known as OSR mode, handle all events manually and they have to render a pixel buffer with the web contents.

The current demos use a canvas to copy that pixel buffer but in theory you can use a DirectX texture in Windows.
No demo uses textures at the moment.

Read the code comments for all the TChromium events used in the OSR demos to know all the information about the OSR mode.
