some notes

  • the PyBrowser uses .json files to save its settings, bookmarks and the website history. These files are saved to where the python script is located. KEEP THIS IN MIND

the requirements

  • a computer
  • okay internet connection
  • Python3, of course
  • pip
  • some patience

the python dependencies

  • PyQt5
  • QtWebEngineWidgets
  • sys

getting it installed

You will need to first have python3 set up on your device. If it's installed already, make sure you are able to run the pip command.

If you're on Linux, then you can probably use your package manager to install the dependencies. On Ubuntu, run sudo apt install python3-pyqt5 python3-pyqt5.qtwebengine

When you have the dependencies installed, you can finally execute the main python script using python3 PyBrowser.py in the same folder as the python script.

updating to a newer version of PyBrowser

A new release. Want to update to it? Aight.

First, download the new python script. Then, overwrite the old one. And voila, you have updated. This way all your bookmarks and settings should be preserved (if nothing goes wrong that is).
