BADWOLF(1)		    General Commands Manual		    BADWOLF(1)

NAME
       badwolf -- minimalist and privacy-oriented web browser based on WebKit-
       GTK

SYNOPSIS
       badwolf [webkit/gtk options] [URLs or paths]

DESCRIPTION
       badwolf	is  a minimalist browser that cares about privacy, it is based
       on WebKitGTK and	thus also accepts WebKitGTK (and  dependencies)	 flags
       and environment variables, unfortunately	there doesn't seems to be man-
       pages for theses.

       Runtime	configuration specific to badwolf will probably	get added at a
       later release.

KEYBINDINGS
       The following section lists the keybinding by their action,  each  item
       is described by the widget the focus is on or <any> if it works for the
       whole window, followed by the keybind it	grabs.

ENVIRONMENT
       BADWOLF_L10N
	       A  colon-separated  list	in the form lang_COUNTRY where lang is
	       in   ISO-639   and   COUNTRY   in   ISO-3166.	For    example
	       BADWOLF_L10N="en_GB:fr_FR:de_DE".   When	 this  variable	 isn't
	       set, spelling isn't activated.  A more generic variable name is
	       also intended to	be used	in the future.

	       To   get	  the	list   of   supported	dictionaries   execute
	       enchant-lsmod-2	  -list-dicts	 or    before	enchant	  2.0:
	       enchant-lsmod -list-dicts

FILES
       The following paths are using sh(1) syntax  to  correctly  support  XDG
       Base  Directory Specification, you can use the echo(1) command to check
       where it	is on your system.

       ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}/badwolf/content-filters.json
	       WebKit-specific content-filter file, this allows	to  block  un-
	       wanted  content (ads, nagware, ...).  For some introductory in-
	       formation	 about	       the	   format	  see:
	       https://webkit.org/blog/3476/content-blockers-first-look/
	       https://webkit.org/blog/4062/targeting-domains-with-content-
	       blockers/
	       https://developer.apple.com/documentation/safariservices/creating_a_content_blocker

	       For   a	 converter   using   AblockPlus-style	filters,  try:
	       https://gitlab.com/eyeo/adblockplus/abp2blocklist

	       For a ready-to-use file (that you should	update	periodically),
	       try:					     https://easylist-
	       downloads.adblockplus.org/easylist_min_content_blocker.json
       ${XDG_CACHE_HOME:-$HOME/.cache}/badwolf/filters
	       This is where the compiled filters are stored, the  file(s)  in
	       it  are	automatically  generated  and  so shouldn't be edited.
	       Documented here only for	sandboxing / access-control purposes.
       ${XDG_DATA_HOME:-$HOME/.local/share}/badwolf/bookmarks.xbel
	       XBEL (XML Bookmark Exchange Language) file, known  to  be  cur-
	       rently	   supported	  by:	  elinks(1),	 konqueror(1),
	       kbookmarkeditor(1).

	       You can do a symbolic link from their path, but you might  pre-
	       fer  to	use XInclude: https://www.w3.org/TR/xinclude/ which is
	       natively	supported by badwolf to	automatically  merge  multiple
	       XBEL files.

	       Also  the  bookmark entries aren't re-sorted, so	you might want
	       to put your most	frequently used	ones at	the top	of the file.

	       For    more    information    about    this     format	  see:
	       http://pyxml.sourceforge.net/topics/xbel/

	       For	  an	    example	   XBEL	       file	  see:
	       https://hacktivis.me/bookmarks.xbel
       ${XDG_DATA_HOME:-$HOME/.local/share}/badwolf/webkit-web-extension/
	       Directory       containing	the	  WebKitWebExtensions:
	       https://webkitgtk.org/reference/webkit2gtk/stable/WebKitWebExtension.html
	       to   be	 loaded	  into	 badwolf.   Note:   They   aren't  the
	       JavaScript-based	Web-Extensions supported by Firefox or Chrome,
	       but native code in shared objects using the WebKitGTK API.

	       Examples	  of   useful	extensions   may    be	  found	   at:
	       https://hacktivis.me/git/badwolf-extensions
       ${DATADIR:-/usr/local/share}/badwolf/interface.css
       ${XDG_DATA_HOME:-$HOME/.local/share}/badwolf/interface.css
	       CSS  files  (respectively  system  and  user-level) for styling
	       badwolf	  interface.	 See	https://docs.gtk.org/gtk3/css-
	       properties.html for the properties being	available.

	       For   testing   your   styles   I  would	 recommend  using  the
	       GTK_DEBUG=interactive environment variable on launching badwolf
	       and going to the	CSS tab.
       ${XDG_DATA_HOME:-$HOME/.local/share}/badwolf/scripts/
	       Directory containing JS userscripts (ending in .js) ran at  the
	       start of	page loads, nesting down into iframes, useful to over-
	       ride website behaviors or add missing features to websites.

	       Please note that	for now	unlike GreaseMonkey-style userscripts,
	       they are	always run, regardless of the hostname / URLs.
