qutebrowser

General

Qutebrowser is very dotfiles friendly, nonetheless there are some features which require manual intervention to work correctly at initial setup.

Ad-blocking

Do not forget to install python-adblock if you want brave-like adblocking. To have domain blocking and brave-like adblocking:

:set content.blocking.method both
:adblock-update

Automatic adblock list updates:

Adding to your crontab at whatever interval you wish:

qutebrowser --nowindow ':adblock-update;;later 10000 download-clear'

will update the adblock lists without starting a qutebrowser window.

Greasemonkey scripts

To add scripts such as 4chanX to qutebrowser add the js file to ${XDG_DATA_HOME:-$HOME/.local/share}/qutebrowser/greasemonkey. For 4chanX this would be:

wget -P ${XDG_DATA_HOME:-$HOME/.local/share}/qutebrowser/greasemonkey https://www.4chan-x.net/builds/4chan-X.user.js

followed by a :greasemonkey-reload in qutebrowser to activate the newly added Java scripts.
