Build Status coverage badge website | blog | FAQ | contributing | releases | installing qutebrowser is a keyboard-focused browser with a minimal GUI. It's based on Python and Qt and free software, licensed under the GPL. It was inspired by other browsers/addons like dwb and Vimperator/ Pentadactyl. qutebrowser's primary maintainer, The-Compiler, is currently working part-time on qutebrowser, funded by donations. To sustain this for a long time, your help is needed! See the GitHub Sponsors page or alternative donation methods for more information. Depending on your sign-up date and how long you keep a certain level, you can get qutebrowser t-shirts, stickers and more! Screenshots screenshot 1 screenshot 2 screenshot 3 screenshot 4 Downloads See the GitHub releases page for available downloads and the INSTALL file for detailed instructions on how to get qutebrowser running on various platforms. Documentation and getting help Please see the help page for available documentation pages and support channels. Contributions / Bugs You want to contribute to qutebrowser? Awesome! Please read the contribution guidelines for details and useful hints. If you found a bug or have a feature request, you can report it in several ways: * Use the built-in :report command or the automatic crash dialog. * Open an issue in the Github issue tracker. * Write a mail to the mailinglist at qutebrowser@lists.qutebrowser.org. Please report security bugs to security@qutebrowser.org (or if GPG encryption is desired, contact me@the-compiler.org with GPG ID 0x916EB0C8FD55A072). Alternatively, report a vulnerability via GitHub's private reporting feature. Requirements The following software and libraries are required to run qutebrowser: * Python 3.9 or newer * Qt, either 6.2.0 or newer, or 5.15.0 or newer, with the following modules: + QtCore / qtbase + QtQuick (part of qtbase or qtdeclarative in some distributions) + QtSQL (part of qtbase in some distributions) + QtDBus (part of qtbase in some distributions; note that a connection to DBus at runtime is optional) + QtOpenGL + QtWebEngine (if using Qt 5, 5.15.2 or newer), or + alternatively QtWebKit (5.212) - This is not recommended due to known security issues in QtWebKit, you most likely want to use qutebrowser with the default QtWebEngine backend (based on Chromium) instead. Quoting the QtWebKit releases page: [The latest QtWebKit] release is based on [an] old WebKit revision with known unpatched vulnerabilities. Please use it carefully and avoid visiting untrusted websites and using it for transmission of sensitive data. * PyQt 6.2.2 or newer (Qt 6) or 5.15.0 or newer (Qt 5) * jinja2 * PyYAML On macOS, the following libraries are also required: * pyobjc-core and pyobjc-framework-Cocoa The following libraries are optional: * adblock (for improved adblocking using ABP syntax) * pygments for syntax highlighting with :view-source on QtWebKit, or when using :view-source --pygments with the (default) QtWebEngine backend. * On Windows, colorama for colored log output. * asciidoc to generate the documentation for the :help command, when using the git repository (rather than a release). See the documentation for directions on how to install qutebrowser and its dependencies. Donating qutebrowser's primary maintainer, The-Compiler, is currently working part-time on qutebrowser, funded by donations. To sustain this for a long time, your help is needed! See the GitHub Sponsors page for more information. Depending on your sign-up date and how long you keep a certain level, you can get qutebrowser t-shirts, stickers and more! GitHub Sponsors allows for one-time donations (using the buttons next to "Select a tier") as well as custom amounts. For currencies other than Euro or Swiss Francs, this is the preferred donation method. GitHub uses Stripe to accept payment via credit cards without any fees. Billing via PayPal is available as well, with less fees than a direct PayPal transaction. Alternatively, the following donation methods are available -- note that eligibility for swag (shirts/stickers/etc.) is handled on a case-by-case basis for those, please get in touch for details. * Liberapay, which can handle payments via Credit Card, SEPA bank transfers, or Paypal. Payment fees are paid by me, but they are relatively low. * SEPA bank transfer inside Europe (no fees): + Account holder: Florian Bruhin + Country: Switzerland + IBAN (EUR): CH13 0900 0000 9160 4094 6 + IBAN (other): CH80 0900 0000 8711 8587 3 + Bank: PostFinance AG, Mingerstrasse 20, 3030 Bern, Switzerland (BIC: POFICHBEXXX) + If you need any other information: Contact me at mail@qutebrowser.org. + If possible, please consider yearly or semi-yearly donations, because of the additional overhead from many individual transactions for bookkeeping/tax purposes. * PayPal: CHF, EUR, USD. Note: Fees can be very high (around 5-40%, depending on the donated amounts) - consider using GitHub Sponsors (credit card), Liberapay (credit cards, PayPal, or bank transfer) or SEPA bank transfers instead. * Cryptocurrencies: + Bitcoin: bc1q3ptyw8hxrcfz6ucfgmglphfvhqpy8xr6k25p00 + Bitcoin Cash: 1BnxUbnJ5MrEPeh5nuUMx83tbiRAvqJV3N + Ethereum: 0x10c2425856F7a8799EBCaac4943026803b1089c6 + Litecoin: MDt3YQciuCh6QyFmr8TiWNxB94PVzbnPm2 + Others: Please get in touch, I'd happily set up anything supported by Ledger Live Sponsors Thanks a lot to MacStadium for supporting qutebrowser with a free hosted Mac Mini via their Open Source Project. (They don't require including this here - I've just been very happy with their offer, and without them, no macOS releases or tests would exist) Thanks to the HSR Hochschule fur Technik Rapperswil, which made it possible to work on qutebrowser extensions as a student research project. powered by MacStadium HSR Hochschule fur Technik Rapperswil Authors qutebrowser's primary author is Florian Bruhin (The Compiler), but qutebrowser wouldn't be what it is without the help of hundreds of contributors! Additionally, the following people have contributed graphics: * Jad/yelo (new icon) * WOFall (original icon) * regines (key binding cheatsheet) Also, thanks to everyone who contributed to one of qutebrowser's crowdfunding campaigns!
