I'm trying to use DNR to force safe search with Qwant search engine.
Under certain circumstances (scenario described below) the search is performed with an API which contains the safe search level in a URL parameter. A typical query URL is https://api.qwant.com/v3/search/web?q=test&count=10&locale=fr_FR&offset=0&device=desktop&tgp=1&safesearch=0&displayed=true&llm=true.
I want a DNR rule to force safesearch to be 2 (= strict) (from some javascript code) :
{
id: 1,
priority: 1,
action: {
type: 'redirect',
"redirect": {
"transform": {
"queryTransform": {
"addOrReplaceParams": [{ "key": "safesearch", "value": "2" }]
}
}
}
},
condition: { "urlFilter": "api.qwant.com/v3/search", "resourceTypes": ["xmlhttprequest"] },
}
When this rule is activated, I end up with a URL with the original safesearch parameter AND the forced one : https://api.qwant.com/v3/search/web?q=test&count=10&locale=fr_FR&offset=0&device=desktop&tgp=1&safesearch=0&displayed=true&llm=true&safesearch=2.
To reproduce this request (with the previous DNR rule in place) :
navigate to https://www.qwant.com
search for some string (test in my case). This displays the list of results ;
click the engine button at the top right to display the settings pane ;
inspect network request performed by this page ;
change the Adult filter in the list -> the results are automatically updated with the new settings. The web request shows URL with the 2 safesearch parameters.
I already used addOrReplaceParams in 'standard' contexts (main_frame) and it works just fine. Any hint on what goes on ?
Thank you.
Selecting any option will automatically load the page

I'm working on a Safari web extension that uses the nativeMessaging facility to communication with native code.
When I want to notify the javascript extension from the embedding application, I use SFSafariApplication::dispatchMessage. As per the documentation, this call
... ensures that Safari is launched and that your extension is running before delivering the message.
Everything works fine when the background script is running.
However, after the background script gets unloaded at some point in time (non persistent background page, default behavior for a manifest V3 extension), the background script is not reloaded by the message from the native app (background script still appears unloaded in the developer menu of Safari, double-checked using a counter stored in browser.storage.local incremented on message reception). In this case, the completion handler of the application gets no error (error == nil) as if the message was correctly delivered.
I was able to reproduce this behavior with the sample app delivered for WWDC20 (after upgrading the manifest from v2 to v3 to make it non-persistent).
Is it supposed to work ? What I'm doing wrong ?
