This is a friendly fork of the original project¹ by Peter Hofmann in order to test various stuffs. There is no aim to release anytime soon. It is mainly for my personnal use, to refresh my memory about C code and for fun. Do not hope any support from me. You are completely free to use it though. ¹ https://uninformativ.de/git/lariza Features: --------- Done and different from upstream ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - Various different key bindings (see the code). - An old fashioned throbber replace loading bar. - Cookie management \o/ and ephemeral browsing. - Pref file to store home page, download dir... An exemple is given in lariza.cfg. It has to be saved as ~/.config/lariza/lariza.cfg Upstream ~~~~~~~~ - A WebKit2 viewport - An input box to change the URI or to search the current page - Built-in download manager - Indicator for web feeds - Optimized hotkeys: Left hand on keyboard, right hand on mouse - Global content zoom - Cooperative instances using FIFOs - Certificate trust store - Bundled user-supplied JavaScripts (optional): - Link hints - Bundled web extensions (optional): - Adblock In my mind ~~~~~~~~~~ - Stay tuned about embedding mozilla? Following ² and ³ - ... ² http://chrislord.net/index.php/2016/03/08/state-of-embedding-in-gecko/ ³ https://dutherenverseauborddelatable.wordpress.com/2016/03/07/the-gecko-monoculture/ Installation ------------ The following C libraries are required: - GTK+ 3 - WebKit2 API for GTK+ 3 - libconfig lariza expects to be run on a POSIX-ish operating system. To build the program and install it to /usr/local: $ make # make install To use bundled web extensions, they must be copied or symlinked to the appropriate path. Please refer to the manpage. Running ------- You simply invoke the main program: $ lariza Refer to the manpage for all options. Note about throbbers -------------------- The various pictures included in the media folder of this repository are not free. Thus, they will never be included in the Makefile or any package done by me. Background information ---------------------- What lariza is and what it's not lariza does what I need. It won't do other things. I'm open for pull requests but please don't be upset if I turn them down -- which might happen if it's a feature that I simply don't need. That being said, you should have a look at the PATCHES file. :-) lariza does not compete with powerful browsers like dwb or luakit, nor with monstrous applications like Firefox or Chromium. lariza won't have persistent storage, nor a plugin system, nor cloud sync, nor bookmarks. About the name "lariza" stems from a german sentence: Alle anderen waren mir zu anstrengend. l a r i z a That phrase basically means: "It was too tiresome to deal with any other browser." I couldn't find a simple browser that does just what I need. Most of them are utterly bloated, others lack essential functions. Thus, I was forced to write scripts and tools and stuff to deal with these issues. That is what was tiresome. I don't want to work around bugs or nonsensical behavior anymore. So, I wrote my own browser^W WebKit GUI. WebKit does all the dirty work.
