* ✅ full controll of the webbrowser with the 'wbctrl' cmdlet
* ✅ retreiving and manipulating of webbrowser-tab DOM nodes
with 'wl' cmdlet
* ✅ evaluating javascript-strings, javascript-files in opened
webbrowser-tab
* ✅ adding html script tags, by url, to opened webbrowser-tabs,
for normal javascript files or modules
* ✅ evaluating scripts, with support for async patterns, like promises
* ✅ evaluating asynchronous scripts, with support for yielded PowerShell
pipeline returns
* ✅ exporting of favourites/bookmarks from Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome
or Firefox
* ✅ launching of default browser, Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome or Firefox
* ✅ launching of webbrowser with full control of window positioning
* ✅ launching of webbrowser with a large set of options
In your PowerShell profile script,
you can set a global variable named DefaultSecondaryMonitor.
This allows you to setup your prefered webbrowser launch monitor.
e.g.
# Disable default placement of browser window
Set-Variable -Name DefaultSecondaryMonitor -Value -1 -Scope Global
# Place browser windows by default on 3th monitor (0 = Primary monitor, 1 = first, 2 = second, etc)
Set-Variable -Name DefaultSecondaryMonitor -Value 3 -Scope Global

PS C:\> Invoke-WebbrowserEvaluation "document.title = 'hello world'"

Invoke-WebbrowserEvaluation --> et, Eval Executes JavaScript code in a selected web browser tab.
Invoke-WebbrowserEvaluation [[-Scripts] <Object[]>]
[-Inspect] [-NoAutoSelectTab] [-Edge] [-Chrome] [-Page
<Object>] [-ByReference <PSObject>] [<CommonParameters>] Executes JavaScript code in a selected browser tab with support for async/await,
promises, and data synchronization between PowerShell and the browser context.
Can execute code from strings, files, or URLs.
This function provides comprehensive access to browser APIs including IndexedDB,
localStorage, sessionStorage, and other web platform features. It includes
built-in error handling, timeout management, and support for yielding multiple
results from generator functions.
The function uses Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP) debugging connections, which
provides privileged access that bypasses standard JavaScript security restrictions.
This enables access to storage APIs, cross-origin resources (within the same tab),
and other browser features that would normally be restricted in standard web contexts.
Key capabilities:
- Async/await and Promise support
- Generator functions with yield support
- Data synchronization via $Global:Data
- Privileged access to browser storage APIs
- Bypasses same-origin policy restrictions for current page storage
- IndexedDB enumeration and data extraction
- DOM manipulation and web API access
- Error handling and timeout management
-Scripts <Object[]>
JavaScript code to execute. Can be string content, file paths, or URLs.
Accepts pipeline input.

# SECURITY NOTE: This basic example works because the module uses Chrome DevTools
# Protocol (CDP) debugging access, which bypasses normal JavaScript security

# See the enhanced example below for more details on security considerations.

Enhanced IndexedDB enumeration with metadata and error handling
This enhanced approach provides more comprehensive IndexedDB data extraction including
database counts, error handling, and metadata. Unlike the basic example above, this
version handles security restrictions, provides detailed store information, and
includes record counts without necessarily retrieving all data.

$EnhancedIndexedDbData | ConvertTo-Json -Depth 10
# Key differences from the basic example:
# 1. Includes error handling for database access issues
# 2. Provides metadata (KeyPath, AutoIncrement, IndexNames)
# 3. Gets record counts without retrieving all data (more efficient)
# 4. Handles timeout scenarios
# 5. Returns structured information about database schema
# 6. More suitable for large databases where retrieving all data would be slow
# SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS FOR INDEXEDDB ACCESS:
# Both examples work because this module uses Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP) through
# the debugging port, which bypasses standard JavaScript security restrictions:
#
# Standard JavaScript Limitations:
# - Same-origin policy restricts access to IndexedDB from other origins
# - Some databases may be hidden or protected by browser security features
# - Cross-origin database access is typically blocked
# - Service worker databases may have additional protection
#
# How this example bypasses restrictions:
# - Uses CDP debugging connection (--remote-debugging-port) for privileged access
# - Executes in the context of the actual page, not a sandboxed environment
# - Has the same permissions as the website itself for its own storage
# - Can access all databases created by the current origin/domain
#
# Limitations Even With CDP:
# - Cannot access databases from other origins/domains in the same browser
# - Cannot access databases from other browser profiles or private browsing
# - Some browser extensions may create isolated storage not accessible via JavaScript
#
# Alternative Approaches for Maximum Access:
# - Use GenXdev.Webbrowser with multiple tabs from different origins
# - Combine with file system access to browser profile directories (when possible)
# - Use browser automation to navigate between different domains
# - Consider using CDP Storage domain directly (advanced, not implemented in basic examples)

Invoke-WebbrowserEvaluation --> et, Eval Executes JavaScript code in a selected web browser tab.
Invoke-WebbrowserEvaluation [[-Scripts] <Object[]>]
[-Inspect] [-NoAutoSelectTab] [-Edge] [-Chrome] [-Page
<Object>] [-ByReference <PSObject>] [<CommonParameters>] Executes JavaScript code in a selected browser tab with support for async/await,
promises, and data synchronization between PowerShell and the browser context.
Can execute code from strings, files, or URLs.
This function provides comprehensive access to browser APIs including IndexedDB,
localStorage, sessionStorage, and other web platform features. It includes
built-in error handling, timeout management, and support for yielding multiple
results from generator functions.
The function uses Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP) debugging connections, which
provides privileged access that bypasses standard JavaScript security restrictions.
This enables access to storage APIs, cross-origin resources (within the same tab),
and other browser features that would normally be restricted in standard web contexts.
Key capabilities:
- Async/await and Promise support
- Generator functions with yield support
- Data synchronization via $Global:Data
- Privileged access to browser storage APIs
- Bypasses same-origin policy restrictions for current page storage
- IndexedDB enumeration and data extraction
- DOM manipulation and web API access
- Error handling and timeout management
-Scripts <Object[]>
JavaScript code to execute. Can be string content, file paths, or URLs.
Accepts pipeline input.

# SECURITY NOTE: This basic example works because the module uses Chrome DevTools

# Key differences from the basic example:
# 1. Includes error handling for database access issues
# 2. Provides metadata (KeyPath, AutoIncrement, IndexNames)
# 3. Gets record counts without retrieving all data (more efficient)
# 4. Handles timeout scenarios
# 5. Returns structured information about database schema
# 6. More suitable for large databases where retrieving all data would be slow
# SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS FOR INDEXEDDB ACCESS:
# Both examples work because this module uses Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP) through
# the debugging port, which bypasses standard JavaScript security restrictions:
#
# Standard JavaScript Limitations:
# - Same-origin policy restricts access to IndexedDB from other origins
# - Some databases may be hidden or protected by browser security features
# - Cross-origin database access is typically blocked
# - Service worker databases may have additional protection
#
# How this example bypasses restrictions:
# - Uses CDP debugging connection (--remote-debugging-port) for privileged access
# - Executes in the context of the actual page, not a sandboxed environment
# - Has the same permissions as the website itself for its own storage
# - Can access all databases created by the current origin/domain
#
# Limitations Even With CDP:
# - Cannot access databases from other origins/domains in the same browser
# - Cannot access databases from other browser profiles or private browsing
# - Some browser extensions may create isolated storage not accessible via JavaScript
#
# Alternative Approaches for Maximum Access:
# - Use GenXdev.Webbrowser with multiple tabs from different origins
# - Combine with file system access to browser profile directories (when possible)
# - Use browser automation to navigate between different domains
# - Consider using CDP Storage domain directly (advanced, not implemented in basic examples)
