4 chorizo - simple web browser
7 *chorizo* - [-C] [_URI ..._]
10 *chorizo* is a simple web browser using GTK+ 3, GLib and WebKit2GTK+.
13 In addition to the standard arguments of GTK+ 3, *chorizo* knows about the
17 Disables cooperative instances.
20 Launch a private window.
23 Print version and exit.
25 After these options there can be any number of URIs specified to open.
28 In addition to the standard variables of GTK+ 3, *chorizo* knows about the
29 following environment variable:
32 Cooperative instances are implemented using a named pipe in the file
33 system. The name of this pipe usually is (at least on modern systems following
34 XDG standards: /var/run/user/$UID/chorizo.fifo-$CHORIZO_FIFO_SUFFIX
36 *$UID* is the id of your user. *$CHORIZO_FIFO_SUFFIX* defaults to *main*. If you
37 change this variable, you can launch several independent cooperative instances
41 XDG variables will be used to construct these paths.
42 *~/.config/chorizo/chorizo.ini*
43 Configuration file. See *chorizo-config*(5).
45 *~/.config/chorizo/adblock*
46 Adblock patterns. See *chorizo-usage*(1).
48 *~/.local/share/chorizo/certs*
49 Directory where trusted certificates are stored. See *chorizo-usage*(1).
51 *~/.local/share/chorizo/cookies.db*
52 Database where cookies are stored. It is kept in the same format as Firefox,
53 so the file can easily be copied over.
55 ~/.local/share/chorizo/user-scripts
56 Directory to store user-supplied JavaScript snippets. See *chorizo-usage*(1).
58 ~/.local/share/chorizo/web_extensions
59 Sets the directory where WebKit will look for web extensions. See
66 ~/.local/share/webkitgtk
67 WebKitGTK will dump its caches and local storage here. It is probably wise to
68 clean those directories regularly or to mount them as *tmpfs*(5).
71 *chorizo* is released under the MIT license. See the accompanying LICENSE file.
