Edit a web page with Python

Question

I asked a similar question about how to edit a web page with Python before using selenium, but since that didn't get anywhere (I want to be able to do it in a browser that still has all of the saved cookies, passwords, bookmarks, etc) I want to broaden the scope. Using any modules you know of, how can I open a website in my browser, and edit an element using a Python script?

For instance I'd like my script to do something like this...

open google.com
find the element that corresponds to the google logo
hide the element

If it helps, I'm on a Macbook, using Google Chrome

You can still do that via selenium, locate the element and edit the style via "execute script":

elm = driver.find_element_by_id("myid")
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].style.display = 'none';", elm)

Right, but when I use selenium I lose all of those bookmarks, passwords, and cookies that I mentioned in the post
