Looks good, excited to try this together with the CDP feature. If it works well we can add it to our (TestingBot) integration/documentation.

New comment by defied in "Critical CSS"

defied — Wed, 07 May 2025 13:07:05 +0000

We created this as a free tool a while back on TestingBot: https://testingbot.com/free-online-tools/critical-css-genera....

It uses a remote browser to start a Puppeteer session and runs JavaScript code to extract the critical CSS needed for above-the-fold content. We chose Puppeteer because it’s fast to instrument the browser and works well even on JavaScript-heavy sites.

You can't use AppleID or iCloud because Apple's virtualization.framework does not support this (yet) https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/707459

If you run macOS without the virtualization.framework, which is only possible on non-ARM mac's, then it will work.

New comment by defied in "Playwright: Automate Chromium, WebKit and Firefox"

defied — Thu, 27 Jan 2022 19:35:29 +0000

I’m working on a project that provides remote browsers, running on VMs/containers, capable of running Playwright tests (and Puppeteer scripts): https://headlesstesting.com/

We’ve seen a consistent growth of interest in people wanting to use Playwright for browser automation (and testing).

For testing purposes, you can achieve similar results with Selenium IDE. You can export tests and upload these to (our website) https://testingbot.com - supports screenshots and scheduled runs.

New comment by defied in "FFmpeg to WebRTC"

defied — Wed, 22 Sep 2021 14:36:25 +0000

Would using gstreamer instead of ffmpeg offer better or worse performance? (Less CPU usage on the sender side?) If anyone has experience with this setup, I’d love to know.
