Qutebrowser - keyboard driven libre web browser (based on webengine)

Libre Culture · 5 years ago

I’d like to recommend one of my favorite libre software projects - Qutebrowser.

Disclaimer: This post contains hateful speech towards mice, reader discretion advised!

If prefer to use keyboard-driven software (i.e. vim) you must check out Qutebrowser. It’s vim and python inspired and rather than being a browser extension (like many keyboard browser projects) it’s a unique browser build with webengine, python and QT.

The benefits of this setup is that python scripting and keyboard functionality are first class citizens! This allows some serious workflow optimizations. For example I have “submit to lemmy shortcut” on my sp keyclicks:

config.bind("sl", "open -t https://dev.lemmy.ml/create_post?url={url}")

By clicking these keys new tab opens up with the current url in lemmy’s submit post box.

Check it out!

Actually QtWebEngine uses Chromium, so in the end I assume we can say it is does use Blink web browser. Source: https://wiki.qt.io/QtWebEngine

What is libre culture?

Libre culture is all about empowering people. While the general philosophy stems greatly from the free software movement, libre culture is much broader and encompasses other aspects of culture such as music, movies, food, technology, etc.

Some beliefs include but aren’t limited to:

That copyright should expire after a certain period of time.
That knowledge should be available to people, not locked away.
That no entity should have unjust control or possession of others.
That mass surveillance is about mass control, not justice.
That we can all band together to help liberate each other.

Rules

I’ve looked into the ways other forums handle rules, and I’ve distilled their policies down into two simple ideas.

Please show common courtesy: Let’s make this community one that people want to be a part of.
Please keep posts generally on topic
No NSFW content
When sharing a Libre project, please include the name of its license in the title. For example: “Project name and summary (GPL-3.0)”

Libre culture is a very very broad topic, and while it’s perfectly okay for a conversation to stray, I do ask that we keep things generally on topic.
