xombrero
minimalist web browser
Description
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;
