About surf

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.
