Ad blocking about capture-website HOT 3 CLOSED

I recently added adblock at browserless.

You could use @browserless/goto or use adblocker directly.

It also addresses #11

In fact, the default rules lists are easylist + uBlock + cookies banners 🙂

Just need some urls to target to see if it's working as expected

from capture-website.

This could be implemented with request interceptors:

const blocklist = [...];

page.on('request', (request) => {
    // psuedo-code, regex or domain checks likely required
    if (blocklist.includes(request.url())) {
        request.abort();
	}

    request.continue();
  });

With this implementation, blocklist could be provided by the user -- either a list directly or a filepath.

@brandon93s How were you able to integrate this with capture-website? I tried the below but the page.on('request') is not called. @sindresorhus is this expected or possibly a bug?

      beforeScreenshot: async (page, browser) => {
        page.on('request', (request) => {
          console.log('request.url()', request.url());
          if (blocklist.includes(request.url())) {
            request.abort();
          }
          request.continue();
        });
      },
