Request: Browser Modifiers

How much control over browsers do you have in your language?

I'm looking to request at least an open-source version of these two things:
1) A homepage setter that will set the homepage of all installed browsers (or as many as you can make).
2) A cookie reader. Most browsers use SQLite to store cookies. Can these be read? e.g. GetChromeCookie("mysite.com", "username")

What is this for again?

General usefulness.

I can make you a homepage setter virus, if that's what you need. Not sure of the usefulness of it if it's not a virus, though...

As for the cookie reader, I might be able to write you one in Java if I can find the location that cookies are stored on the hard drive, it should be a fairly simple program. I'll make sure and get back to you on that.

Not a virus per se. Just as a normal function. setHomepage("whatever"). If someone wants to make it a virus, sure; but I think as a tool it should be available to LG programmers, and no one has it on here yet.

I'm sure you can Google where the cookie file is. I can write the query for you if you figure it out, since I doubt you know SQL.

Serious question, why are you guys such dicks? I'm trying to be helpful, even if I won't succeed at it, and all you guys feel the need to do is insult me and ridicule me for trying to help. I don't see you even attempting it Unintelligible, so shut the fuck up.

Why would you need to set someone's homepage though? o-o

And that would be cool, I can try trk on it.

Coming from the wise man who gave us, "Instead of just ignoring you, it's always better to prove you wrong. Why just go 'Pshh, you don't know anything' when you can be like 'BITCH, LOOK AT THIS SHIT. WHAT NOW, FAGGOT?', because you're a retard who know nothing. It's always better to destroy you, rather than just defeat you."

That was in a private steam chat, talking about proving people wrong, that had nothing to do with being a dick to someone...

Good, I can feel your anger. They are defenseless. Take your weapon. Strike them down with all of your hatred and your journey towards the dark side will be complete Luke.

On Topic: This seems like a pretty straightforward request. Should the code be cross-platform, or do you want different versions for different systems? Do you have any kind of language you'd prefer it to be in? What about portability?
What's the context of this request?

Don't care, don't care, don't care. At least Windows support. And it'd be cool if you could run it from a flash drive. But other than that, I don't think any other features would make it cool. I was mostly thinking the code being open-source in any language(s) would be cool for a forum of this nature. I think a lot of newbie programmers would enjoy playing around with it (the code, not a full made program).
