uzbl. A browser that adheres to the unix philosophy.

Would making linkfollower work in the "new" gmail (not basic html) require something less than a complete rewrite on how it works?

Hi !
First, I'm sorry for my broken langage --- I'm french.
I post this message to obtain some help about uzbl.
I use it for a long time ago now, but I have some trouble since my new install. I'm on a debian Wheezy, And Yes, I know, I'me in an Arch Linux forum. But i's really difficult to find a complete and useful forum which talk about the powerfull uzbl.
Well, theses troubles are very strange and I don't know how to repair them.
I explain : I can't access to some website where there is some javascript to managed the text fields.
- For example, when I want to connect me at groovesharkDOTcom, I fill the login and password text fields, but I can't valid them. I rest in the insert mode. And if I made Escape, I loose the focus and the login window.
- Another day, I have to connect my sister in her Hotmail mailbox ; I success to fill the text fields, but when I valid, the same window refresh it. Ourobouros inside.
- I think it come from the javascript, but I'm not sure.
- At th beginning, I think it come from Privoxy, but even disabling it, it changes nothing.

If anyone can help help me...

There is my config file.
I custom it a bit. I changed the colours, set the url_proxy, and disabled the cookie.

Hi, question:
I'd like to use uzbl by default in 'privacy mode' with respect to cookies
Meaning that, when uzbl shuts down, it should clear cookies (mostly to avoid sites like facebook following me everywhere)
How can I achieve this?
Also it seems that with the out-of-thebox config session cookies seem to survive browser restarts. Is that the intention?

I'm using the uzbl package from the official repository. version 2012.05.14

t0m5k1 · 2014-02-10 17:17:39

**[SOLVED]**

I seem to be having issue's with uzbl-browser not opening new windows when started like this:

uzbl-browser --class=uzbl-facebook -u https://facebook.com

I have tried many ways around this but nothing is resolving this & using uzbl-tabbed is not going to solve it as it does not take the switches I use above.
I have added the following to my config:

set javascript_windows = 1

I did not think I needed a different follow.js as the ones mentioned in this thread are older than the one that comes with the uzbl package in repo.

cheers for all help & advice

EDIT:
Solved the problem, after going through the config during a diff with the original example I discovered that you can only have one of the following lines in your config:

@on_event   NEW_WINDOW     sh 'uzbl-browser ${1:+-u "$1"}' %r
@on_event   NEW_WINDOW     uri %s
@on_event   NEW_WINDOW     event NEW_TAB %s

now what would be really cool would be if something checked to see if uzbl-browser OR uzbl-tabbed was running & open the relevant tab/window based on what was running!

still thanks for a great lightweight browser.

Hi everyone,
I just switched to uzbl-tabbed because using firefox or chromium on a laptop with 4 GB memory with 64 bit Arch Linux hits the swap quite often. Uzbl is also a little memory hungry, usually between 80-200 MB per tab, stille quite an improvement.

I am trying to modify the goto.js to be able to open links in a new tab.

I put the following in my config file

@cbind o<open:>_ = script @scripts_dir/goto.js '0%s'
@cbind t<tabopen:>_ = script @scripts_dir/goto.js '1%s'

So I use the argument 0 for current window and 1 for new tab.
and this in the script:

var o = '%s';
if (o.length > 1){
	var urlstr = o.substring(1);
	if(urlstr.indexOf('.') > 0){
		if(urlstr.indexOf(':') < 0) urlstr = 'http://' + urlstr
	} else {
		urlstr = 'http://www.google.com/search?q=' + urlstr;
	}
	if(o[0]=='1'){ window.open(urlstr) } else { window.location = urlstr;}
}

The window.open(urlstr) does not work.

I am not very familiar with javascript, and haven't done anything web related since CCS was cool new technology. Where is the API for this? Which methods and attributes does window have? and how can I do what I am trying to achieve?

80-200MB per tab really is a lot!! Have you also tried dwb, luakit, ...? They are based on webkit just like uzbl, but are more actively developed and at least for dwb I can say that it's very stable for me and offers many many features, including some handy plugins.

Hmm, what's the --class option? Looks interesting but I couldn't find it in the documentation?

I use different classes, titles or instances for windows I want to force onto a different workspace within my WM's config, uzbl-facebook force this instance onto a workspace for all "social" website's I have 1 for mail, terminal, files managers/editors, music etc etc just my way of keeping things uncluttered

good day,

did any of you guys get go_input.sh working with uzbl-tabbed? it doesn't put the cursor in the field, just switches to input mode. (using the uzbl-git package)

regards,
nem

just thought I would share that recently I hit a few probs with uzbl opening https site's
i changed this line:

set ssl_ca_file /etc/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt

to this

set ssl_ca_file /etc/ca-certificates/extracted/tls-ca-bundle.pem

now all is working

I think this is due to the recent changes mentioned in the news.

hope this helps you

Are their other people out there having uzbl-browser crash on nearly every page ? To be a bit more specific, using the uzbl-browser package from the official repositories dies (segfaulting?!) on random occasions but recreatable on specific sites. E.g. if i goto github.com normaly nothing happens, i can use this(!) site without a problem, if i follow a link into a repositorie, uzbl crashes after it loads some parts of the page, the amount of loaded data varies by approach. Sites like amazon.com or ebay.com or for a short period of time even wiki.gentoo.org (only the wiki o.O) wasn't accessable.
Using uzbl from git or the aur (git) works for most of the times, but i can't install a working uzbl-browser from either because somehow the configuration or python/event-manager or whatever gets screwed because of some configuration changes made in the experimental/next-branch. Since i can't get them to work and are therefore reliant on the official package i search for advice.
I thought it was a webkitgtk issue but well, is there anybody out their who understands the versioning and numbering and inging of the webkit*-*.* packages ?

If i set

set enable_scripts = 0

every page works 'as espected' except for the missing script behaviours. As for the troubleshooting i always used

uzbl-core -v -u https://amazon.com

.
It dies after blocking some frames.
