Hi Silvio,
One way to stop page modes from being loaded is:
user_pref ('conkeror.load.page-modes/google-search-results', false);
Note that this is a user_pref, not a session_pref, so it will require
a restart. There is also the pref conkeror.loadDefaultModules that
allows you to prevent all non-essential modules from loading, so you can
then `require' only the ones you want. This is all brand new code as of
yesterday.
It is also possible to modify `auto_mode_list' and remove the entry
for google-search-results mode. Modifying structures like this is
unfortunately not as easy in javascript as in lisp. Maybe someone could
write a helper function to make it easier to work with these user
variables like auto_mode_list.
There is a broader issue which I will mention in this context, that we
as the conkeror user community should discuss whether it is right to
have site-specific code in conkeror, or whether these modules are more
appropriately distributed as addons, for example, as Extensions. It is
no trivial matter to make a bunch of extensions and provide a way for
conkeror to easily download and install them, but I think it is well
worth consideration. My opinion is not too strong on this issue, but
from my perspective a (comparatively) small conkeror core filled with
general tools is most preferable.
my 2 cents,
John Foerch
