  • Default: false
  • Description: Automatically dismiss cookie consent popups
  • Example: blockCookieBanners=true

Block Advertisements (blockAds)​

  • Default: false
  • Description: Remove ads before recording
  • Example: blockAds=true

Bypass Bot Detection (bypassBotDetection)​

Dark Mode​

How It Works​

  • Inverts colors (light backgrounds become dark)
  • Adjusts text for readability
  • Preserves images and logos
  • Smooth transitions to dark theme

Best For​

  • Documentation sites
  • Code editors
  • Admin dashboards
  • Blogs and portfolios

What Gets Blocked​

  • Display ads (banners, sidebars)
  • Video ads
  • Pop-up ads
  • Tracking scripts

Benefits​

  • Cleaner visuals
  • Faster loading
  • Professional appearance
  • Focus on content

Supported Types​

  • GDPR compliance banners
  • CCPA compliance notices
  • Popular providers (OneTrust, CookieBot, Quantcast Choice)
  • Custom implementations

How It Works​

  1. Detects common banner patterns
  2. Auto-clicks accept/dismiss buttons
  3. Hides banners that can't be dismissed
  4. Removes background overlays

Bot Detection Bypass​

When to Use​

  • Corporate websites with protection
  • E-commerce sites with bot detection
  • SaaS platforms
  • Sites behind Cloudflare

Supported Systems​

  • Cloudflare basic challenges
  • Basic CAPTCHAs
  • Rate limiting bypass
  • User agent checks

Combining Enhancements​

// Maximum clean setup
&darkMode=true&blockAds=true&blockCookieBanners=true&duration=12

// News site clean
&blockAds=true&blockCookieBanners=true&duration=8

// Documentation with dark mode
&darkMode=true&blockCookieBanners=true&fullPage=true&duration=20

Performance Considerations​

Each enhancement adds processing time:

  • Dark Mode: +1-2 seconds
  • Cookie Banners: +2-3 seconds
  • Ad Blocking: +1-2 seconds
  • Bot Bypass: +3-5 seconds

Best Practices​

  1. Choose by Purpose: Marketing videos need blockAds and blockCookieBanners. Developer docs benefit from darkMode.

  2. Test Combinations: Try different enhancement combinations to find what works best for your content.

  3. Consider Audience: Professional/corporate audiences expect clean, ad-free content.

Troubleshooting​

Dark Mode Issues​

  • Site already has dark mode (double inversion)
  • Complex CSS interactions
  • Some images may not display correctly
  • Banner reappears (session-based consent)
  • Some sites require consent acceptance
  • Multiple consent layers

Ad Blocking Conflicts​

  • Legitimate content blocked
  • Layout shifts when ad spaces removed

Bot Detection Failures​

  • Advanced protection systems may still block
  • May require longer processing time
