78 <title>Introduction</title>
81 &privacybrowser; is currently in an early alpha state.
82 Most of the features are not yet implemented, but I thought it would be useful to publish it so that users can track the progress and submit feedback.
86 To distinguish between the Android and the PC version, the website, issue tracker,
87 and code base refer to this version as <ulink url="https://www.stoutner.com/privacy-browser-pc/">Privacy Browser PC</ulink>.
91 The best place to discuss the development of Privacy Browser is <ulink url="https://redmine.stoutner.com/projects/privacy-browser-pc/boards">on the forum</ulink>.
92 I also frequently post on my <ulink url="https://fosstodon.org/@privacybrowser">Mastodon account</ulink> regarding the development status.
95 <!-- Qt WebEngine. -->
96 <sect1 id="qt-webengine">
97 <title>Qt WebEngine</title>
100 Privacy Browser uses <ulink url="https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtwebengine-index.html">Qt WebEngine</ulink> to render websites.
101 Qt WebEngine is based on the <ulink url="https://www.chromium.org/blink/">Chromium Blink</ulink> source code.
102 Because Privacy Browser is built on the <ulink url="https://api.kde.org/frameworks/index.html">KDE Framework</ulink>,
103 it currently uses the <ulink url="https://community.kde.org/Schedules/Plasma_6">Qt 5</ulink> packages.
107 The current Qt 5 packages are in long-term support mode.
108 From a feature perspective, Qt WebEngine 5.15.x is based on <ulink url="https://wiki.qt.io/QtWebEngine/ChromiumVersions">Chromium 87.0.4280.144</ulink>.
109 Security fixes are backported every few months with <ulink url="https://wiki.qt.io/Qt_5.15_Release#Release_Plan">each release</ulink>.

115 <title>Bugs and Missing Features</title>
118 There is a list of feature requests and known bugs at <ulink url="https://redmine.stoutner.com/projects/privacy-browser-pc/issues">redmine.stoutner.com</ulink>.
119 Users should anticipate that all the current features of <ulink url="https://www.stoutner.com/privacy-browser-android/">Privacy Browser Android</ulink>
120 will also be implemented in Privacy Browser PC.
121 There is no need at this point to create features requests for these as they will be added as I start working on each feature and have a better idea of how they will be implemented.
122 However, each feature that has already been implemented should be bug free.
123 If you discover a bug that is not already documented at <ulink url="https://redmine.stoutner.com/projects/privacy-browser-pc/issues">redmine.stoutner.com</ulink> please add it.
127 Below is a list of known prominent bugs or missing features in this alpha release.

141 <!-- Using Privacy Browser. -->

143 <title>Using &privacybrowser;</title>
148 <imagedata fileref="privacybrowser-window.png" format="PNG"/>
151 <phrase>Screenshot</phrase>
157 <sect1 id="javascript">
158 <title>JavaScript</title>
161 JavaScript allows web pages to run scripts (programs) on your device. It allows web pages to function more like apps, but it also allows web pages to spy on you.
162 Most of the tracking on the internet does not work when JavaScript is disabled.
163 JavaScript can be toggled by clicking on the privacy shield, which is blue if JavaScript is disabled and red when it is enabled.
166 <imagedata fileref="javascript.png" format="PNG"/>

175 <!-- Local Storage. -->
176 <sect1 id="local-storage">
177 <title>Local Storage</title>
180 <ulink url="https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qwebenginecookiestore.html#setCookieFilter">Local storage</ulink>
181 in Privacy Browser encompasses cookies, DOM storage, IndexedDB, service workers, and the filesystem API.
182 Local storage can be toggled through an action on the toolbar.
187 <title>Cookies</title>
190 <ulink url="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_cookie">Cookies</ulink>
191 allow websites to store small pieces of information for a specific host that are sent in the HTTP header every time the browser connects to that host.
192 Privacy Browser allows a maximum of <ulink url="http://browsercookielimits.iain.guru/">180 cookies with a maximum size of 4096 bytes per cookie</ulink> to be set per domain.
193 Cookies are often used to track users across the web, particularly third-party cookies (which are completely blocked in Privacy Browser).
194 They are also used as a security mechanism on websites where you log in to identify it is you as you browse from page to page on a site.
200 <imagedata fileref="cookies.png" format="PNG"/>
203 <phrase>Cookies</phrase>
209 The cookies dialog is opened from <xref linkend="settings-cookies"/>.
210 Durable cookies are shared with all tabs that are opened after they are made durable and are preserved even when Privacy Browser is restarted.
211 This allows users to stay logged in to sites of their choosing. No cookies are durable by default. Making a cookie durable requires specific user interaction.
215 All other cookies are specific to the tab where they are created and are destroyed when the tab is closed.
219 <!-- DOM storage. -->
220 <sect2 id="dom-storage">
221 <title>DOM storage</title>
224 <ulink url="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_storage">DOM (Document Object Model) storage</ulink>, also knows as web storage, allows web pages to store information on a client device.
225 The storage capacity is larger than for cookies and the data is not automatically sent in the headers with every HTTP request.
226 In Privacy Browser, each website is allowed to store a <ulink url="https://arty.name/localstorage.html">5 MB of data</ulink> in DOM storage.
227 DOM storage requires JavaScript to function, and, in addition, requires an extra toggle to be enabled.
228 In Privacy Browser, DOM storage is limited to the tab where it is created and is destroyed when the tab is closed.
233 <sect2 id="indexeddb">
234 <title>IndexedDB</title>
237 <ulink url="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/IndexedDB_API">IndexedDB</ulink>
238 provides web pages with a local database where they can store “significant amounts of structured data”.
239 There is disagreement on the internet about the maximum size of an IndexedDB database, probably because the various rendering engines keep changing their mind.
240 But it is usually listed at somewhere between 20% and 80% of <emphasis>your entire hard drive</emphasis> with each individual domain limited to some segment of that.
241 IndexedDB requires JavaScript to function.
242 In Privacy Browser, this database is limited to the tab where it is created and is destroyed when the tab is closed.
246 <!-- Service Workers. -->
247 <sect2 id="service-workers">
248 <title>Service Workers</title>
251 <ulink url="https://developer.chrome.com/docs/workbox/service-worker-overview/">Service workers</ulink> are offline JavaScript proxies of a website. They have their own cache that is usually hidden and hard to clear.
252 They were designed by people who want the web browser to become the operating system and run full “apps”.
253 In Privacy Browser, service workers are limited to the tab where they are created and are destroyed when the tab is closed.
257 <!-- Filesystem API. -->
258 <sect2 id="filesystem-api">
259 <title>Filesystem API</title>
262 The <ulink url="https://developer.chrome.com/articles/file-system-access/">filesystem API</ulink> grants the browser direct access to the files on your system.
263 Like service workers, the filesystem API is a summarily bad idea thought up by those who want the browser to become an operating system.
264 Even when JavaScript and local storage are enabled, the filesystem API does not work in Privacy Browser.
270 <sect1 id="user-agent">
271 <title>User Agent</title>
274 The user agent is a text string that is sent as part of every HTTP header that identifies the browser to the web server.
275 Privacy Browser's default user agent is <code>PrivacyBrowser/1.0</code>.
276 Qt WebEngine 5.15.12’s default user agent is <code>Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) QtWebEngine/5.15.12 Chrome/87.0.4280.144 Safari/537.36</code>.
280 Over the years user agents have become quite lengthy,
281 partially because they tend to include a <ulink url="https://webaim.org/blog/user-agent-string-history/">brief history of the internet</ulink>.
282 In the modern world they serve almost no good purpose, but some web developers still think they need them so they can send different version of their website to different browsers.
283 Some servers <ulink url="https://www.stoutner.com/user-agent-problems/">refuse to function correctly</ulink> if they don't like the user agent that is sent.
287 At some point in the future Privacy Browser will send no user agent by default.
288 Not only is that currently impossible because the Qt WebEngine doesn't allow you to not send a user agent (I will probably have to fork it to enable that functionality),
289 but even web servers that don't care what the user agent is often refuse to send an answer if there is no user agent at all.
290 Getting rid of this relic of the internet is going to take some time and a retraining of common expectations.
294 <!-- Domain Settings. -->
295 <sect1 id="domain-settings">
296 <title>Domain Settings</title>
299 Domain setting make it easy to automatically change JavaScript, local storage, user agent, and other settings when the domain changes.
300 Domain settings for the current domain can be accessed through the domain settings button at the far right of the URL line edit.
301 Domain settings for all domains can be accessed through <xref linkend="settings-domain-settings"/>. When domain settings are active, the URL line edit will have a green background.
306 <sect1 id="http-pings">
307 <title>HTTP Pings</title>
310 HTTP hyperlinks can have an extra <ulink url="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/a#ping">ping attribute</ulink> that sends a POST request to a different URL.
311 These HTTP pings are commonly used for tracking.
312 <ulink url="https://www.theregister.com/2019/04/06/apple_safari_changes/">Most browsers</ulink> send HTTP pings without informing the user
313 <ulink url="https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2018May/0027.html">in any way</ulink>
314 (despite what The Register article says, current versions of FireFox also happily send HTTP pings).
318 Privacy Browser blocks all HTTP pings and presents a dialog informing the user every time the current tab attempts to send one.
319 Hopefully, as more people become aware of what HTTP pings are, web sites will become more embarrassed about using them.
320 This is a classic example of how those who wrote the HTTP specs do not have the best interests of internet users at heart. I would like the day to come where they are removed from the specs.
324 <!-- Spell Checking. -->
325 <sect1 id="spell-checking">
326 <title>Spell Checking</title>
329 Privacy Browser uses the binary <filename>.bdic</filename> Hunspell dictionary format <ulink url="https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtwebengine-features.html#spellchecker">utilized by Qt WebEngine</ulink>
330 which was <ulink url="https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/dev/developers/how-tos/editing-the-spell-checking-dictionaries">created by Google for Chromium</ulink>.
331 Debian’s Hunspell dictionary language packages are slowly adding support for the <filename>.bdic</filename> format. Those which have are listed by Privacy Browser as suggested packages.
335 Once a <filename>.bdic</filename> dictionary is installed, it can be enabled in Privacy Browser’s settings.
