• A peculiarity of the X Window System: Windows all the way down

  Another awesome aspect of X11: Xembed. Since it's "windows all the way down" you can have apps (rather than the window manager or root window) be the parent of other app windows. Two nifty examples of this: * https://tools.suckless.org/tabbed/ * https://surf.suckless.org/. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• Kera Desktop: open-source, cross-platform, web-based desktop environment

  This is a wonderful project! I've been thinking a lot about making such a unified desktop stack for a while now; web technology has matured to the point where I think it's feasible to build a complete environment a la Smalltalk/Symbolics but with a modern feature set. Obviously this has deficiencies but like it or not the web _is_ computing for the vast majority of people and exploring/pushing its limits of user... - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

• Brave Browser introduces vertical tabs

  The main one that comes to mind is https://surf.suckless.org/ But there are many other minimal UI browsers as well as Firefox that support no tabs. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

• Ask HN: Is there a web browser, that's just a browser?

  I'd suggest surf[1]. It is as barebones as it gets and is extremely customizable. I use it when I need a browser that I could focus while using. - [1] https://surf.suckless.org. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

• TIL theres a minimalist firefox fork with no bloat, ublock origin and a sidebar

• Ladybird: A new cross-platform browser project

  Surf[1] is merely a Webkit wrapper. If you mean NetSurf[2], it's actually doing OK in resource constrained environments, although it's been a while since a release, which is a bit concerning.

• Easy way to find all nouns that start with "пр-"?

  Yes, it's enough. It won't work in some browsers, though all common ones should be ok, I think. If you inspect the source of the page, the href attribute of the link has those same encircled letters (percent-encoded as %E2%93%A1%E2%93%A4). That is, Reddit's software doesn't replace them with ordinary r u when formatting the comment; it's your browser that does when you follow the link. I've tried it with Firefox,...

• Setting Up a Browser in Kiosk Mode, Switching Between Dashboard Tabs

  You can also not use a wm and use a program like tabbed, in tabbed itself you need a way for programs to be embedded, it seems, and I cant find out how to make it work with firefox (I tried for like 3 minutes). But you could try using surf but that is slower than firefox and may not work with all features. Maybe there is an alternative program to that. Source: almost 2 years ago

• We are the Free Software Community of India (FSCI). Ask us anything!

  Don't take my word for it. I like Librewolf , even occasionally use surf. Firefox with LibreJS addon is also pretty solid. Source: about 2 years ago

• How to create widgets or borderless windows from webpage elements

  I was hoping it might be possible to use bspc to launch specific windows to specific workspaces in set positions, by passing in an arbitrary command (like a browser command opening a webpage/element), and then just set up my predefined HUD workspaces in a config that auto-launches on login. Based on this thread, it sounds like Surf or google-chrome apps might be good solutions, but I haven't quite figured out how... Source: about 2 years ago
