Description:
C: '<p>xombrero is a minimalist web browser with sophisticated security features designed-in, rather
than through an add-on after-the-fact. In particular, it provides both persistent and per-session
controls for scripts and cookies, making it easy to thwart tracking and scripting attacks.</p><p>In
addition to providing a familiar mouse-based interface like other web browsers, it offers a set of
vi-like keyboard commands for users who prefer to keep their hands on their keyboard.</p><p>The default
settings provide a secure environment. With simple keyboard commands, the user can whitelist specific
sites, allowing cookies and scripts from those sites.</p><p>xombrero is light and has a very good
performance when running over network connections, as SSH forwarded tunnels.</p><p>The major features
are: - Tabbed browsing; - Written entirely in C; - Based on Webkit and GTK3, with GTK2 compatibility;
- Built with security in mind; - Minimal on-screen layout; - Cookie, javascript and plugin toggles
and whitelists; - Browsing session data auto-saves in case of crash; - Simple integration with Tor
and other web proxies; - vi-like default keybindings; - Mouse-less browsing; - Basic MIME support;
- Seamless upgrade process; - DNS and link prefetch disabled by default; - Colorful address bar indicates
HTTPS certificate status; - Control over user_agent presented to sites; - Download manager; - Text-based
config file; - Bookmarks, i.e. favorites; - Printing, including to PDF.</p>'
