Ask HN: Is there a hackable web browser?
Is there a browser, that allows us to change DOM on the fly, without all the restrictions of chrome extensions ( even mozilla is doing web extensions ) like saving to hard disk, script injection, and being more developer friendly ?

Vivaldi might be your best bet: https://vivaldi.com
Interacting with disk isn't easy with Chrome, but using something like Styler or GreaseMonkey (or whatever it's called now) lets you mess with a page however you want.
The overhead of an extension is pretty small, once you actually build it and set your browser to developer mode.

does vivaldi, have a plugin framework, that help us interact and save dom nodes ?
It doesn't seem to be actively developed, and may not work well out of the box, but https://www.uzbl.org/ may be an option, or at least give some inspiration.
Thank you for the reference. Seems promising, but let me use and see !
