browser addons - Is there a Platypus-like extension for Google Chrome?
2014-03
From Platypus Firefox Add-on page:
Platypus is a Firefox extension which lets you modify a Web page from your browser -- "What You See Is What You Get" -- and then save those changes as a Greasemonkey script so that they'll be repeated the next time you visit the page.
This is very practical, for instance, if you want to fix rendering errors in a site you use but have no control over (like most IE-only sites).
Is there a similar extension for for Chrome?
I had a look, but I couldn't find any. However, Google Chrome comes with developer tools (It's not really a WYSIWYG editor, more like a html/css/javascript editor.) that could do what you need them to do. Press F12
to access them.
Here:
javascript: document.body.contentEditable ='true';document.designmode ='on'; void 0
Copy/paste that into your browser's URL bar, but you can save as a bookmark, too.
To save, just Ctrl+Shift+I and copy the source code. That is the only real way to save the code.
Is it possible to use extensions on the developer build of Google Chrome for Mac? Ive seen tutorials for windows and linux.
At this exact moment, you need a trunk build. You can get one here: http://build.chromium.org/buildbot/snapshots/chromium-rel-mac/
We hope to turn extension support back on in the next dev channel release of Google Chrome for mac.
For reference the current version of Chrome supports extensions and has since February 2010.
