Luakit Web Browser

A fast, extensible, and
customizable web browser

Luakit is a highly configurable browser framework based on the WebKit web content engine and the GTK+ toolkit. It is very fast, extensible with Lua, and licensed under the GNU GPLv3
license. It is primarily targeted at power users, developers and anyone who wants to have fine-grained control over their web browser’s behaviour and
interface.

Important WebKit Security Notice

While switching to the
WebKit 2 API means a vastly improved security situation, not all distributions of Linux package the
most up-to-date version of WebKitGTK+, and several package very outdated versions that
have many known vulnerabilities. As of November 2017, Arch, Fedora,
Gentoo, and Ubuntu all have the latest version of WebKitGTK+, but Debian
and OpenSUSE ship outdated and vulnerable versions in their
stable channel. See here for more details.

If you use Luakit for browsing, it is your responsibility to ensure that
your distribution packages an up-to-date version of WebKitGTK+!

Installing on Windows 10

  1. First, install the Windows Subsystem for Linux if you have not already done so, as WebKitGTK+ does not natively support Windows.

  2. The default Linux system is based on Ubuntu “Trusty”; upgrade your system to Ubuntu “Xenial” by running the following command at the Linux terminal:

    do-release-upgrade

    This is required due to a missing dependency (Lua File System) in the earlier version of Ubuntu.

  3. Download, build, and install luakit from source, following the instructions below.

Installing on Linux

  • Arch Linux users can install the luakit-git package from the AUR.

  • Other users will need to download and build from source. A Debian package is in the works. Luakit contains only around 9000 lines of code, so this process is usually very fast.

Installing on BSD

FreeBSD and OpenBSD users can install the luakit package.

When installing from source, OpenBSD users should build with clang instead of GCC, as the GCC version shipped with OpenBSD is outdated and its use will result in compilation errors.

Installing from source

  1. Ensure you have the following required dependencies installed:

  2. Download the latest development version:
    zip,
    tar.
    Alternatively, clone the project with Git
    by running:

    git clone git://github.com/luakit/luakit
  3. Change into the target directory and run make install. You will probably also want to customize the prefix, which is /usr/local by default.
    Full instructions on building Luakit are available in the README.md file.

  4. After successfully building and installing luakit, run luakit from the command line or launch luakit from your application launcher.

I like going to Baby Boutique. They have lots of clothes, and you can buy them. Sometimes I like to go there with my sister and my mommy when they are not busy because they help me find clothes. I like the shoes too, but sometimes what I love about Baby Boutique I like to try on clothes too. I get some for my mommy when I go there, and sometimes she becomes a princess. I help her find all the right colors that will match with her eyes so she looks nice. Then we have lots of fun trying to find stuff where it
