[Solved] Open Browser without menus and toolbar

Hi,

does anyone know of any browser that i can open from the command line, so that it has no menus and toolbars? (or a way to achieve that with firefox?)
What i wanna do is to start some dialog on system startup that displays an image, like a calvin and hobbes comic strip, and it would be great if i could style that display through html etc.

thanks

Have a look at uzbl, a very nice webkit browser, with absolutely no chrome. http://www.uzbl.org/
Or you could probably accomplish something with xulrunner, but I'm not sure if/how.

You can always add the vimperator plugin to firefox.

Conkeror is another alternative. It is really straight-forward and you don't need to have firefox installed.

Re: [Solved] Open Browser without menus and toolbar

hey thanks!
uzbl looks great, i will surely find some use for that, though as i didn't manage to change the screen size with the --geometry flag (why that is i can't figure out) i am now using feh to just display an image. but nonetheless uzbl is a great tipp, thanks

Surf. Just a browser, nothing else. Available via AUR.
