Minimalistic Web Browsers.

[galacticaboy]

I am looking for a Mini Web Browser, if you will. Sorta like Luakit (http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/luakit-extensible-micro-browser). I like Luakit, but it has a few quirks that have me pulling out my tounge after dirtying up the room with my words. Does anyone know of any other ones?

Have you tried Midori?

I have and I cannot stand Midori. I am looking for something super minimal, like the picture here: http://goo.gl/r951o

You mean like in the attached image? That is Opera, with all the bars (address, status, menu, tab, etc.) disabled.

Yes like that, but not opera, I don't want a browser with "disabled" anything, I just don't want them, Just like Jumanji and Luakit, now, with Jumanji, how do I install it?

Conkeror is not exactly minimalist, but it has a clean interface with a modeline and is controlled by Emacs-like bindings.

It's fun for awhile, but I find something like Chromium to be a better compromise. Anyway, it's nice to use the mouse once in a while!

I start including it bundled on my works,
because it "understand" more HTML5 than Firefox Nightly, plus this: http://www.firefoxwithbing.com

Uzbl (http://uzbl.org/)

Surf (http://surf.suckless.org/)

I don't understand how to install any of those browsers, I need a .deb or some instructions.

I thought they were in the repos so you could install with apt. If not, there should be a README and INSTALL text file inside the tarball you can read. Both are pretty straight forward installs as I recall.

[krapp]

If Ubuntu maintains their packages, search for them in Synaptic. Or install in the command line.

For instance,


apt-get install uzbl

installs uzbl.

If other packages are not in the repo's you're going to have to install a binary package or simply go to another distro.

Though from memory you want
apt-get install uzbl-browser
or
apt-get install uzbl-tabbed It's the most minimilast browser I know of so long as you don't mind it being mostly keyboard controlled (or fully if you want to use they keyboard for things like scrolling and links). You can disable the scrollbar and it has a single small bar down the bottom that you can turn on and off with a single key press.

some screens of it in action, though I don't know where the black border came from

Open a Terminal Window, copy, paste into the Terminal, and press ENTER:


wget http://code.google.com/p/devicenzo/source/browse/trunk/devicenzo-pretty.py && python devicenzo-pretty.py

You can use a mouse with Conkeror.

[del_diablo]

Why do you want minimalizm when you have Opera?

[krapp]

You can use a mouse with Conkeror.

Not much point to it! I'd rather have a proper mouse interface.

[matthew.ball]

Ummm, you can use a mouse with Conkeror just as much as you can use a mouse with, say Chromium.

Conkeror just enables you to be entirely keyboard oriented, if you want. You don't have to enable anything extra to use the mouse.

[krapp]

In order to use the mouse solely, yeah you do. Back and forward buttons for instance.

There's dwb (http://portix.bitbucket.org/dwb/), which is similar to jumanji, luakit, uzbl, etc. It seems to get overlooked a lot. I decided to create a ppa for both the GTK2 and GTK3 versions. The ppa is here (https://launchpad.net/~jomasti/+archive/ppa-dwb).

It wasn't a direct link to the .py file.

wget https://devicenzo.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/devicenzo-pretty.py && python devicenzo-pretty.py
Be sure to have python-qt4 installed, too. However, it segfaulted for me.

omg, ...its not so hard to download a single file from the internet:

Ignore this post, did not read the OP properly.

There's dwb (http://portix.bitbucket.org/dwb/)

Surf, Uzbl, and Luakit are now in the repos for 11.10 but I am unable to compile jumanji or dwb.

I have opened a thread in general help about it.
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11581644#post11581644

Also, I think xxxterm https://opensource.conformal.com/wiki/XXXTerm
may be pertinent to the thread, despite its unfortunate name.

I agree with the OP in that luakit would be ideal if it weren't for some blood boiling annoyances that seem unique to it. (It's method of link highlighting for one.)
