pub fn get_active_browser_url() -> Result<BrowserInfo, BrowserInfoError>Expand description
Retrieve information about the currently active browser
This function combines window detection (via active-win-pos-rs) with
specialized browser information extraction.
§Examples
use browser_url::get_active_browser_url;
match get_active_browser_url() {
Ok(info) => {
println!("URL: {}", info.url);
println!("Title: {}", info.title);
println!("Browser: {}", info.browser_name);
println!("Process ID: {}", info.process_id);
println!("Position: ({}, {})", info.window_position.x, info.window_position.y);
println!("Size: {}x{}", info.window_position.width, info.window_position.height);
}
Err(e) => eprintln!("Failed to get browser info: {}", e),
