badwolf

Badwolf is a minimal, privacy oriented, WebKitGTK browser for Linux and BSD on x86(-64) and arm7&8 running on X11 and Wayland. Badwolf features toggles for JavaScript and image loading, a tabbed browsing experience in a mouse-driven user interface. It has a low memory footprint and small binary size.

Installation
