xombrero (until 2012 known asxxxterm) is a discontinued[2][3]open-sourceweb browser developed with a goal to be a lightweight and secure replacement for full featured browsers likeFirefox.[4] The browser has found a niche among minimalist browsers for heavy keyboard users by balancing minimalism with usability.

xombrero is based onGTK+ 3.[5]

Features

[edit]

xombrero is based on theWebKit engine[6] and provides an ability to controlcookies,plug-ins andJavaScript policies on per-website basis. The user can define thewhitelists of trusted websites for each of those security risks.[7][8]

xombrero was designed for experiencedcommand-line interface users, so it includes the features typically requested by such an audience: mouseless browsing, noURL prefetch,vi-likeuser interface and navigation (includingcommand mode),plain text file configuration, and link hinting.[8][9][10]

User interface

[edit]

xombrero provides acommand mode (designed aftervi) for entering commands for the common tasks, including tabs (buffers) switching, enteringURLs, following links and navigating through browser history and bookmarks.[6] The same functionality can be accessed withkeyboard shortcuts.

By default xombrero window contains two panels, providing the ordinary layout of a web browser window. The first one (on the top) – "fancy bar" – provides URL entry,backward,forward,stop andwhite-list toggle buttons and optional search string entry. Another panel (on the bottom) – "status bar" – reports the current URL (or page title), zoom level and position in page. With these panels enabled and amouse attached, the user may operate xombrero likeFirefox orMidori.

History

[edit]

The development of the browser began in February 2010 under the name "xxxterm" by severalOpenBSD users specifically for that operating system.[7][11] Initially the releases of the browsers were identified byCVS revision numbers, though more common "X.Y.Z" version numbering scheme was introduced as development moved toGit.[12]

In the release announcement for version 1.11.2, Peereboom revealed the plan to rename xxxterm to xombrero, though an emergency release under the old name happened later the same day.[13][14] Later it was revealed that the version numbers for the browser under the new name would start again from 1.0.[15]

In early 2017, it appeared the project was likely to be discontinued, as xombrero depended on an old version of WebKit which had multiple security vulnerabilities, and a port to a modern version of WebKit would be difficult.[16][2] Due to these issues,[3] OpenBSD removed xombrero from its ports tree on 1 February 2017.[17]
