[Uzbl] 3 [solved] questions

rent0n · 2010-04-17 10:31:49

Hi, I'm a complete newbie when it comes to uzbl and I would really need some help to perform a couple of basic tasks.

1. Follow links in new tabs
I'm using uzbl-tabbed and the default follow.js script. I bound it to 'f' and it works perfectly.
I would like to know how do I make it work to follow links in new tab, instead that in the current one, and binding this behaviour to 'F'.
Also, middle-mouse click should open links in new tabs and not new windows: how can I change this?

2. Download manager
One of the things I miss from firefox is a download manager.
How can I add to uzbl a simple download manager that shows the progress of downloads?

3. Adblock
The other thing is an ad-blocker. I've seen that there's something on uzbl's wiki, but I really can't understand how do I insert it into uzbl and how do I make it work.

Please, try to explain me what I have to do step by step as I am probably missing something very basic on how to extend uzbl's features.

Thank you very much.

For question 3, I use the web caching proxy, polipo, and followed this page to set up adblocking. Then add to ~/.config/uzbl/config:

set proxy_url = http://127.0.0.1:8123

You can use most of the ever popular EasyList or Fanboy's adblock lists, though setup and updating is all manual. Still, it seems to work pretty well.

1. Last time I looked, this was disabled (due to some javascript insecurity). Middle-clicking seems to be the next best solution at the moment.

2. Brisbin33 has a neat little script that does this.

# Middle click open in new window
@bind <Button2> = sh 'if [ "\@SELECTED_URI" ]; then echo "event NEW_TAB \@SELECTED_URI" > $4; fi'

Thanks everyone for your posts, here's my progress:

1a. Ok, follow links in new tabs doesn't work, but how do I follow links in new windows? Does this work for you? I tried to use the script in thw uzbl wiki or to modify the follow.js script shipped with uzbl but I still can't make it work.

1b. kaptenen: I tried your solution but it doesn't work for me, middle-clicking does nothing. Does this work for you?

2. jasonwryan: thanks, that's nice. However I found a KISSer solution here: http://www.uzbl.org/wiki/dl-progress-statusbar , have you tried it?

3. The adblock script on uzbl wiki definitely doesn't work, I keep getting an error about the uzblAdBlock function that doesn't exist. So I adopted JohannesSM64's solution, even if I don't like too much messing with /etc/hosts...

kaptenen · 2010-04-17 20:31:24

Yes it works for me, I'm using the experimental branch, but i don't know if that's matters. Put this in your config:
@on_event NEW_WINDOW event NEW_TAB %s

rent0n · 2010-04-17 20:44:36

Still no luck, it is probably because I'm using the stable version from the repos.
Well, in the meanwhile I can use i3's tabbed layout, which is quite good.
If only I could follow links in new windows!

jasonwryan · 2010-04-17 21:53:45

Works fine for me in the stable version - you can check my config for the set up. I haven't tried the newer download script: but I will - thanks rent0n.

&#32 Greg · 2010-04-17 22:29:30

For 1: In your config file, you need the line

set javascript_windows = 1

And then you need a new follow... in this example follownew.js

/* This is the basic linkfollowing script.
 * Its pretty stable, and you configure which keys to use for hinting
 *
 * TODO: Some pages mess around a lot with the zIndex which
 * lets some hints in the background.
 * TODO: Some positions are not calculated correctly (mostly
 * because of uber-fancy-designed-webpages. Basic HTML and CSS
 * works good
 * TODO: Still some links can't be followed/unexpected things
 * happen. Blame some freaky webdesigners ;)

}

//Parse input: first argument is follow keys, second is user input.
var args = '%s'.split(' ');
var charset = args[0];
followLinks(args[1]);

And then you get the bind line in your config...

@cbind F* = script @scripts_dir/follownew.js '@follow_hint_keys %s'

Oh, and you also need @on_event NEW_WINDOW to be on the event NEW_TAB %s option for this to open in a new tab, otherwise it opens in a new window.

With regards to opening links on click, I ran into the same problem. I want to Control click links to open in new window, but I could not make this work with <Ctrl><Button1> or similar.

I hacked up a little script that does work though, although I consider it a bit ugly

@on_event   LOAD_COMMIT         js window.addEventListener("click",function(e){if(e.srcElement.href){if(e.button==0 && e.ctrlKey){e.stopPropagation();e.preventDefault();window.open(e.srcElement.href);return;}}});

With minor changes you should be able to adapt this to your needs. Notice you need the

set javascript_windows = 1

from &#32 Greg's post above as well (you need that for any script that calls `window.open'

I'm very surprised but I finally got opening links in new tabs working, both with mouse middle click and with the follow link script.
Everything now is so confortable! Thanks everyone and especially to &#32 Greg, kaptenen and jasonwryan.

Btw, anyone got the adblock script working?

skottish · 2010-04-18 13:24:03

I'd recommend privoxy for ad blocking.

Could you please show me how I can use uzbl with privoxy?

Nepherte · 2010-04-18 15:21:03

Install privoxy:

pacman -Sy privoxy

Start privoxy:

/etc/rc.d/privoxy start

Set the proxy in uzbl by adding the following in ~/.config/uzbl/config:

set proxy_url = http://127.0.0.1:8118

Soupstuffs · 2010-04-18 21:31:36

Wow, awesome! Has the whole security thing with the follow link in new tab via keyboard been fixed as well?

I'm using privoxy with uzbl right now and it seems to work quite well, thank you for the hint.
However, I need to test it a bit more extensively as in certain sites it seems to slow down navigation a bit, but it might be a case.

No, the Uzbl.run object still is disabled because javascript applications can use it to spawn scripts on your computer. However, there is a workaround so you can... well, follow in new tab with the keyboard.

JS scripts using window.open are now allowed to open new windows if `javascript_windows' is true

im using JohannesSM64's solution as well. never knew about that, seems to have no effect on browsing speed
