Presented by Dieter Plaetinck
Uzbl is very different from other (even “lightweight”) browsers.
It’s a bare-bones “web interface tool” supposed to be integrated with other tools/scripts. I will describe the design ideas and implementation of Uzbl.
I will explain the philosophy behind it and demonstrate some practical examples of how you can use it and integrate it into your desktop.
The Uzbl project brings:
- uzbl-core: a small program providing a UI to interact with webpages
- a means to report events and send commands
- uzbl-browser: a complete browser implementation based on uzbl-core
- various scripts providing commonly used features.
- many more scripts providing tabs, download managers etc
