Open Source Ruby Browsers for Linux

ZK is an open-source Java framework for building modern web and mobile applications. It enables developers to create rich, interactive UIs using only Java — no JavaScript required. With 200+ Ajax-powered components, event-driven architecture, and support for popular technologies like Spring, Java EE, and JSP/JSF, ZK makes it simple to deliver powerful and user-friendly web applications.

Wraith is a screenshot comparison tool, created by developers at BBC News. Wraith uses a headless browser to create screenshots of webpages on different environments (or at different moments in time) and then creates a diff of the two images; the affected areas are highlighted in blue. There are two main modes for using Wraith, 'capture' mode and 'history' mode. Wraith has some built-in JavaScript and configuration file templates for you to get started with right away. If you wish to take screenshots of a component rather than the entire page, use casperjs and pass a selector along with your paths. In the 'component' example config, you can see how we specify a component name, domain path and selector we want to capture. All config options will be placed in a YAML config file. You set the headless browser, diff mode, threshold, fuzz amount and screen widths.

BenchLab is a Web Application benchmarking framework using real web browsers.

This plugin was originally based on Acts as Taggable on Steroids by Jonathan Viney. It has evolved substantially since that point, but all credit goes to him for the initial tagging functionality that so many people have used. For instance, in a social network, a user might have tags that are called skills, interests, sports, and more. There is no real way to differentiate between tags and so an implementation of this type is not possible with acts as taggable on steroids. Enter Acts as Taggable On. Rather than tying functionality to a specific keyword (namely tags), acts as taggable on allows you to specify an arbitrary number of tag "contexts" that can be used locally or in combination in the same way steroids was used. If you do not wish or need to support multi-tenancy, the migration for add_tenant_to_taggings is optional and can be discarded safely. You can also add and remove tags in format of String.

The aw script is written so that you can browse web sites through the command line by specifying where to look at in a concise manner. It can also be used to make an excerpt of web sites.

Several components used together to enable scripting in a browser using programming languages other than native JavaScript. It includes a Java Applet and JavaScript files.

Cuprite is a Ruby driver for the Capybara testing framework that allows developers to automate browsers using the Chrome DevTools Protocol instead of traditional WebDriver-based tools. It is built on top of the Ferrum library and provides a modern approach to browser automation that removes the need for Selenium or external browser drivers. By communicating directly with Chromium-based browsers through the DevTools protocol, Cuprite enables faster and more reliable browser automation for testing and scraping tasks. The driver integrates seamlessly with Capybara, allowing developers to write feature tests that simulate real user interactions with web applications. Because it uses headless Chrome by default, Cuprite is well suited for automated test environments and continuous integration pipelines. Developers can also run tests with a visible browser window for debugging purposes during development.

Ferrum is a Ruby library that provides a high-level API for controlling Chrome or Chromium browsers using the Chrome DevTools Protocol. The project allows developers to automate browser interactions directly without relying on Selenium, WebDriver, or external drivers, which simplifies browser automation workflows. Ferrum runs in headless mode by default but can also be configured to run with a visible browser window for debugging and development purposes. The library communicates directly with Chrome through the DevTools Protocol, providing access to advanced browser functionality such as DOM manipulation, network inspection, and page automation. Because of this low-level access, Ferrum offers greater flexibility and performance compared to traditional WebDriver-based automation tools. It is commonly used for tasks such as web scraping, automated testing, crawling, and screenshot or PDF generation.

If you are using multiple Web browsers (e.g. Opera is fast, but some important websites only support IE), then this small GUI tool helps you in opening links (e.g. the ones that you click in an Instant Messenger) in the browser you like.

Cross platform GUI managing bookmarks and shortcuts in a portable way. Support import/export, search, encryption, hierarchical tags, USB key installation, various environments integration, OS-dependent shortcuts, plugins extensibility.

RailsPanel is a Chrome/Firefox extension for Rails development that will end your tailing of development.log. Have all information about your Rails app requests in the browser, in the Developer Tools panel. Provides insight to db/rendering/total times, parameter list, rendered views and more. Provides insight to db/rendering/total times, parameter list, rendered views, text editor integration and more.

WURFL lets you detect thousands of types of mobile devices accessing your web service and take decisions based on what that device can or cannot do. With WURFL, you can optimize mobile web content, effectively deliver advertisements, or analyze mobile traffic. WURFL will read HTTP requests from mobile browsers and search the Device Description Repository (DDR) for the corresponding device properties (i.e. capabilities). WURFL will return the device capabilities to your application, which can leverage this knowledge to optimize the mobile experience. WURFL can detect over 10000 device types and offers over 500 device capabilities, including desktops, smartphones, tablets, feature phones, smart TV’s and many other emerging devices types. WURFL addresses the needs of many types of users, from large enterprises with high performance requirements, to regular companies who need a solution that is simple to deploy, integrate and customize. WURFL is provided by ScientiaMobile, Inc.

dotjs is a lightweight browser extension that allows users to run custom JavaScript automatically on specific websites based on their domain names. It works by mapping JavaScript files to domains, so when a user visits a site, the corresponding script is executed seamlessly in the background. This approach enables users to personalize and enhance website behavior without modifying the original source code or relying on heavy user script managers. The tool is particularly useful for developers and power users who want to tweak interfaces, automate repetitive actions, or inject additional functionality into web pages. dotjs emphasizes simplicity by using a file-based structure where each script corresponds directly to a domain, making it easy to manage and organize customizations. It integrates smoothly into the browser environment and requires minimal setup to get started.
