VivaldiHooks

About

VivaldiHooks is a set of hooks/scripts for Vivaldi browser modding. The main one - jdhooks.js - controlls mods loading and provides mod developers a way to change behaviour of Vivaldi internal components.

See Wiki for hooks descriptions or developers' howto.

Download

If you don't use git you may always download VivaldiHooks archive here.

Installation

Automatic (Windows only)

Just run installhooks.bat. It will find installation path automatically if Vivaldi is set as your default browser.

If Vivaldi is installed in "Program Files" or any other write-restricted folder, you must run the script as Administrator.

You may specify a path in a command line:

installhooks.bat C:\programz\Vivaldi-snapshots\1.5.609.8\Application
installhooks.bat "C:\some path with spaces\Vivaldi\Application"
installhooks.bat -nowait C:\programz\Vivaldi-snapshots\1.5.609.8\Application

Another easy way: drag Vivaldi directory and drop it on installhooks.bat.

Manual

First of all, find Vivaldi installation folder ({instdir}):

• Windows: Vivaldi\Application\{version}\resources
• Linux: /opt/vivaldi/resources or /opt/vivaldi-snapshot/resources
• MacOS: /Applications/Vivaldi.app/Contents/Versions/{version}/Vivaldi Framework.framework/Resources

Copy vivaldi folder into {instdir}

Or if you want to keep mods you've installed into browser.html, copy vivaldi\hooks folder and vivaldi\jdhooks.js into {instdir}\vivaldi, open {instdir}\vivaldi\browser.html in a text editor, add line

<script src="jdhooks.js"></script>

right before a line with bundle.js.

You may need to chmod new/updated files.

Deinstallation

If some hooks cause Vivaldi to crash, you can remove just hook files.

The easiest way to "uninstall"/disable VivaldiHooks is to delete {instdir}\vivaldi\jdhooks.js.
