Hi, Exactly a year after the first commit[1] I'm proud to announce qutebrowser v0.1 has been released!
qutebrowser is a keyboard-driven, vim-like browser based on Python3, PyQt5 and QtWebKit - similiar to projects like Vimperator/Pentadactyl, dwb, luakit, and others. More information about qutebrowser is available at www.qutebrowser.org Downloads are available at [2]. I originally started with qutebrowser because it was announced dwb (my favourite browser at the time) was unmaintained[3] and I was unsatisfied with existing alternatives. A year later, I feel like the existing functionality is more than enough for it to be used as a daily driver - and I as well as several other people already do so. The following features are already available: - All the basic functionality you'd expect (i.e. browsing, tabs, javascript, flash support, etc.) - Modal, vim-like input scheme. - Cross-platform support (Linux, Windows, OS X) - Adblocking via /etc/hosts-like files. - Hinting (selecting links via keyboard) - Downloads - quickmarks (bookmarks with a label) - Userscripts (e.g. shellscripts writing commands to a FIFO) - Basic completion for commands, settings and quickmarks Support is available in #qutebrowser on Freenode via IRC, or on the mailinglist at qutebrow...@lists.qutebrowser.org (see [4]). I can be reached at m...@qutebrowser.org. I'd be happy to hear about your thoughts and feature requests either via the above channels, or via the issue tracker at [5]. Thanks to the following contributors: - longneck - rikn00 - Brian Jackson - Mathias Fussenegger - Johannes Altmanninger - Peter Vilim - Martin Zimmermann - WOFall - regines I also want to thank everyone who tested qutebrowser before this release and provided their valuable input and bugreports.
