Qutebrowser in Fedora

Hello there! As of writing, I'm the main maintainer for qutebrowser.org in Fedora. This page documents a few tricks regarding its use.

Advanced Adblocking

Qutebrowser >= 2.0 can use the adblock library (based on Brave's adblock system) for advanced ad-blocking. It defaults to blacklisting well-known evil domains otherwise.

This adblock library depend on maturin, a non-standard build tool to expose rust code to python. The whole thing is somewhat painful to properly package (python code manually calling cargo/rustc, rust dependency hell, etc.) hence is not packaged in the official repository right now. I'm working on a COPR repository wrapping these things in somewhat ugly but functional RPM packages.
