Hyperbola 0.4 running ungoogled-chromium, luakit, and icecat browsers

I was able to install guix on Hyperbola 0.4 today, and install a bunch of browsers. Working great!
One thing I like is that they populated the Lumina main menu right away.

Side note, badwolf has been added recently, do you know how to get https://github.com/jun7/wyebadblock
to work with badwolf?
I have not figured this out yet at all...
Just wondered if you know how... ;)
I do not know. For something like badwolf, I just manually pasted a pre-formatted adblocker list like one of these into /etc/hosts - https://github.com/ProgramComputer/Easylist_adservers_hosts
That's one reason I like luakit - just drop the easylist text files into the ~/.local/share/luakit/adblock/ folder. So simple.
Huh, how would I get it to automatically run?
Aka, when I open web browser it automatically blocks ads?
hmm... I will look this up just in case you dont respond for a while.
If you paste a pre-formatted adblock list like from here into /etc/hosts - https://github.com/ProgramComputer/Easylist_adservers_hosts
... then it should automatically block all those ad-slinging domains for your entire OS, including your browser.
Did I answer your question? Not sure if that's what you were asking.
Yeah, indirectly it did help enormously. :)
Used a list from here:
https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts
;)
Excellent, I've used those lists before as well.
One interesting thing about running luakit from a guix package manager installation is that some of the config files will not be under /etc/xdg/luakit/ like normal, but instead will be under /gnu/store/[bunch of numbers and letters]luakit-2.3/etc/xdg/luakit/
On my Hyperbola system with guix package manager, the rc.lua file I need to edit to enable noscript is located in:
/gnu/store/80ix6mwp2gmm6081588mr9vyhpxmzfv7-luakit-2.3/etc/xdg/luakit/
You can tab complete in your terminal emulator after entering the first 3-4 numbers and letters of the luakit entry in the /gnu/store.
The way to find out the location of the directory on your system is: while in luakit, start a new "command" (yes, luakit takes commands like a terminal emulator) by typing the ":" colon character. Then paste this after the colon -
lua w:notify(package.path:gsub(";","\n"))
So your whole luakit command should look like this:
:lua w:notify(package.path:gsub(";","\n"))
That will spit out a bunch of directories. Look for the one that starts with /gnu/store/ and ends with /xdg/luakit/ - that will be the directory you want for changing the rc.lua file in order to enable noscript.
The rest of the instructions for getting noscript running on luakit are here:

Interesting, I thought Icecat was dead but it seems to be actively maintained in the git repo, although for some reason they haven't made any releases for years.
I even complained to RMS about it (only as part of a larger discussion) and he said he'd ask Ruben to fix this up. It was more than 2 months ago, though. Perhaps it'd help if more people complained?
Anyway, I've been told browsers like Abrowser and Parabola's Iceweasel are in fact based on those IceCat patches
