Uzbl follows the UNIX philosophy - "Write programs
that do one thing and do it well. Write programs to
work together. Write programs to handle text streams,
because that is a universal interface."
* very minimal graphical interface. You only see
what you need
* what is not browsing, is not in uzbl. Things
like url changing, loading/saving of bookmarks,
saving history, downloads, ... are handled through
external scripts that you write
* controllable through various means such as fifo
and socket files, stdin, keyboard and more
* advanced, customizable keyboard interface with
support for modes, modkeys, multichars, variables
(keywords) etc. (eg you can tweak the interface
to be vim-like, emacs-like or any-other-program-like)
* focus on plaintext storage for your data and
configs in simple, parseable formats
* Uzbl keeps it simple, and puts you in charge.
This project is still in its infancy, started in April.
But since it is built on webkit, the core is already
written. It seems that there is a large group of very
interested developers working on this and making large
rapid strides. I look forward to their progress and
hope that perhaps someone with an anonymity bend will
see what they can do with it and tor!
Cheers,
