Uzbl

Article summary

Uzbl is a discontinued free and open-source minimalist web browser designed for simplicity and adherence to the Unix philosophy. Development began in early 2009 and is still considered to be in an alpha state by the developers. The core component of Uzbl is written in C, but other languages are also used, most notably Python. All parts of the Uzbl project are released as free software under GNU GPL-3.0-only. The name comes from the word usable, spelled in lol speak. Development of Uzbl is in the alpha stage. Uzbl was originally designed for Arch Linux, but operates with other Linux distributions and BSD systems. Compilation guides are available for Gentoo Linux, Ubuntu, MacPorts, and Nix package manager. The project is currently "abandoned" due to lack of time. Despite being in early stages of development, Uzbl has gained prominence as a minimalist browser. As of 2019, further development on the project has been discontinued.
