Web Login overlay without using DOM
Hi!
I'd like to see the Devolutions Web Login browser add-on not modify the DOM to display overlays
Specifically the "Save password" box will sometimes be behind elements of the page and in general can be modified by JavaScript or CSS from the page.
Also it depends on the page actually loading after you log in. And whenever you click a link on the page or when you are automatically redirected, the box disappears too.
I think the box should be displayed by the add-on itself and not put into the page DOM, the same way the box appears when you click the add-on icon in the browser.
The same with the overlay from user/password fields (Auto-fill)
Best regards,
Daniel

Hello,
Since the concern is with DWL and not with Devolutions Server, I took the liberty of moving your thread to the correct board. I will ask an engineer to have a look.

Hi,
I know what you mean, unfortunately it is not something possible to do with the current Web Extension API on the different browsers. The only way to have custom interactive overlays from an extension is to inject it in the actual DOM, any extensions that you will try will have the same limitations, there are no ways to display UI with the Add-on by itself (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/user_interface), the box that appears when you click the add-on icon in the browser is a special component and it can be opened only in response to a user action (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/user_interface/Popups).

I see, Thanks for your response!
