eilat-web-browser 1.5.5

QtWebKit based web browser

Keyboard driven, security and privacy focused web browser build in PyQt4’s

webkit engine.

Features:

• simple source code, focused on promoting auditing

• Isolation of instances for facebook, google, twitter; configurable for more sites

• Console logging of resources actually retrieved and cookies set or attempted

• hjkl, ^j, ^h, etc. keyboard navigation

New in 1.5.5:

• hooks for playing videos on ‘mpv’

• redone the log system for message clarity

• access-key navigation (‘ñ’ or ‘;’, then one or two-letters link tag)

Install:

First install PyQt4 for Python 3 by whatever means result more appropiate; using a pyvenv is recommended. Then do pip install eilat-web-browser. Pip will not install PyQt, but will install all the other dependencies.

Quick usage notes:

• facebook, twitter, google will be blacklisted unless they are the first URL visited on a tab (and then the tab will hold to that site only)

• ^t creates a new tab

• Ctrl+Space toggles the status bar

• g starts an in-page search; escape in the search frame closes it

• javascript is off by default; to enable one-tab-only, press q and reload with F5 or r

Read README.md and the wiki (https://github.com/jsoffer/eilat/wiki) for lots of details - there’s a lot of non obvious functionality that requires a bit of reading, e.g. modal keys or navigating through isolated tabs
