Integrate chrome extensions with phantomjs

Question

Is there a way we can install chrome extensions (.crx) with phantomjs?

My task here is to integrate adblockplus with phantomjs so that I can filter all the ad-urls and report using phantomjs.

Or any other way to integrate the adblockplus extension with phantomjs?

Answer 1

PhantomJS is based on a three-year old WebKit fork (QtWebKit), not Chromium. Therefore you cannot load Chrome extensions in PhantomJS.

If you want to use Chrome extensions in an automated way, I suggest to use the ChromeDriver from the Selenium WebDriver project.
