This Repository has been archiveD in favour of https://github.com/raytek-cafe/Okaeri. New development will continue there.

Okaeri

Okaeri is a browser fork of Marble based on Mozilla Firefox (more specifically, the ESR variant) that reverts some features of Marble that I personally don't like.

Credits

Credits go to the original Marble developers and Mozilla for Firefox

Some code snippets were taken from:

• Librewolf for bootstrap without VCS & Firefox View Hide Tweak
• Firefox-for-windows-7 for TryGetDpiForMonitor

Contributing

Because Okaeri is forked from Firefox, its documentation mostly applies for us as well.

Please read this document to understand the Mozilla directory structure.

Here are some useful sources for Mozilla documentation (in order):

1. Mozilla Wiki (Gecko:Overview) - by far the most useful source to understanding the Mozilla framework architecture.
2. Firefox Source Docs - pertains more to modern Firefox specifically.
3. Isabella's Documentation - written by researcher and aims to provide a good introduction to the Mozilla framework.

Building from source

Same as regular Firefox. with some changes:

1. Clone the Repo from GitHub directly.
2. After cloning, run ./mach bootstrap
3. Follow the same steps as regular as firefox.

Integrating additional patches

1. Clone the settings branch in a separate folder
2. Open your console and do Git Apply remove-organization-policy-banner.patch
3. Copy the Distribution folder into the compiled dist bin folder EG:Okaeri\obj-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc\dist\bin
4. Modify Okaeri\browser\installer\package-manifest.in to include the following:

   [browser]

   ; [Base Browser Files]

   @BINPATH@/distribution/policies.json

5. Recompile Okaeri again.
