About

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 behavior and interface. 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situation, not all distributions of Linux package the most up-to-date version of WebKitGTK+, and several package very outdated versions that have many known vulnerabilities.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 September 2019, Arch, Debian, Fedora, Gentoo, and Ubuntu all have the latest version of WebKitGTK+, but OpenSUSE ships an outdated and vulnerable version in their stable channel. If you use Luakit for browsing, it is your responsibility to ensure that your distribution packages an up-to-date version of WebKitGTK+!

About

surf is a simple web browser based on WebKit2/GTK+. It is able to display websites and follow links. It supports the XEmbed protocol which makes it possible to embed it in another application. Furthermore, one can point surf to another URI by setting its properties. You can navigate by clicking on links on the displayed page. Hit Ctrl-g to enter a new URL. Compile your own webkit or expect hell. The packaging of webkit is purely insane. Surf uses upstream stable webkit2gtk by default, but the previous version based on webkit1gtk is still available as a branch. surf is actively developed. You can browse its source code repository or get a copy with the simple commands. Adblocking is a non-trivial task, but there are trivial solutions. The gethostszero file can of course be reused to create the /etc/hosts file. A cronjob can be used to update the file and run hosts-gen again.
