What to do now

• View the key binding cheatsheet to make yourself familiar with the key bindings:
  

• Run :adblock-update to download adblock lists and activate adblocking.

• If you just cloned the repository, you’ll need to run scripts/asciidoc2html.py to generate the documentation.

• Go to the settings page to set up qutebrowser the way you want it.

• Subscribe to the mailinglist where there are weekly "what’s new in qutebrowser" posts.

• Let me know what features you are missing or things that need (even small!) improvements.

Getting help

If you get stuck, you can get help in multiple ways:

• The :help command inside qutebrowser shows the built-in documentation. Additionally, each command can be started with a --help flag to show its help.

• IRC channel: #qutebrowser on Freenode (webchat)

• Mailinglist: qutebrowser@lists.qutebrowser.org ( subscribe)

Donating

Working on qutebrowser is a very rewarding hobby, but like (nearly) all hobbies it also costs some money. Namely I have to pay for the server and domain, and do occasional hardware upgrades ^[1].

If you want to give me a beer or a pizza back, I’m trying to make it as easy as possible for you to do so. If some other way would be easier for you, please get in touch!
