Description-en: minimalist web browser
xombrero is a minimalist web browser with sophisticated security features
designed-in, rather than through an add-on after-the-fact. In particular,
it provides both persistent and per-session controls for scripts and cookies,
making it easy to thwart tracking and scripting attacks.
.
In addition to providing a familiar mouse-based interface like other web
browsers, it offers a set of vi-like keyboard commands for users who prefer
to keep their hands on their keyboard.
.
The default settings provide a secure environment. With simple keyboard
commands, the user can whitelist specific sites, allowing cookies and scripts
from those sites.
.
xombrero is light and has a very good performance when running over network
connections, as SSH forwarded tunnels.
.
The major features are:
- Tabbed browsing;
- Written entirely in C;
- Based on Webkit and GTK3, with GTK2 compatibility;
- Built with security in mind;
- Minimal on-screen layout;
- Cookie, javascript and plugin toggles and whitelists;
- Browsing session data auto-saves in case of crash;
- Simple integration with Tor and other web proxies;
- vi-like default keybindings;
- Mouse-less browsing;
- Basic MIME support;
- Seamless upgrade process;
- DNS and link prefetch disabled by default;
- Colorful address bar indicates HTTPS certificate status;
- Control over user_agent presented to sites;
- Download manager;
- Text-based config file;
- Bookmarks, i.e. favorites;
- Printing, including to PDF.
