# lariza

lariza is a simple web browser using GTK+ 2, GLib and WebKitGTK+. Its features include adblocking, keyword-based searching, a download manager and global content zoom. It provides built-in launching of suckless' tabbed to create tabs with instances of lariza. Additionally it supports the XEmbed protocol which makes it possible to embed it in another application.

## Installation

There are two variants available:

- original version of lariza by Vain
- fork with additional features by okraits (autocompletion, firefox-style keybindings)

To build lariza, do the following:

    $ git clone https://github.com/vain/lariza.git
    $ cd lariza && make

For the extended version of lariza by okraits, there's a PKGBUILD available in the AUR: lariza-okraits-git

Also make sure you install tabbed if you want to use lariza in tabs in one window. An alternative is to use a windowmanager which supports tabbing - like i3, pekwm or fluxbox.

## Configuration

### Environment variables

You can customize some settings by using environment variables in your shell's rc file:

    export LARIZA_ACCEPTED_LANGUAGE=en-US # set Accepted-Language header
    export LARIZA_DOWNLOAD_DIR=/home/myUser/dump # download directory
    export LARIZA_ZOOM=1.0 # default zoom level
    export LARIZA_HOME_URI=https://duckduckgo.com/ # "homepage"

### Adblock

Adblock can be configured by creating a file `~/.config/lariza/adblock.black` with regular expressions like this:

    .*/ad/.*
    .*/ads/.*
    ^https?://ad.*
    ^https?://advert.*
    ^https?://.*\.advertising\.com/

Lines starting with "#" are ignored.

### Keyword based searching:

Keyword based searching can be configured by creating a file `~/.config/lariza/keywordsearch` with expressions like this:

    du https://duckduckgo.com/?q=%s
    wi https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Search&search=%s
    go https://www.google.de/?gws_rd=ssl#q=%s
    yt http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=%s

Each line consists of a keyword and a URI to be used for searching. So if you type "go archlinux" into the address box, it will use Google to search for "archlinux" by using the URI https://www.google.de/?gws_rd=ssl#q=archlinux.

Lines starting with "#" are ignored.

## Using lariza

You can provide multiple URI's to open when starting lariza:

    $ lariza https://archlinux.org http://google.com
