The first time you open it

Starting it the first time

WolfWeb comes as a folder you unpack, not an installer. WolfWeb is new, so Windows and Mac may ask you to confirm before they open it. You only do that once.

  • Linux

    Unpack it anywhere you like, for example a folder in your home folder.

    1. Unpack the download (most file managers do it with right-click → “Extract”), or in a terminal type tar -xzf WolfWeb-*-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
    2. Open the “wolfweb-linux-x86_64” folder and start “wolfweb”.
    3. From then on, WolfWeb is in your applications menu.

  • Windows

    WolfWeb for Windows isn’t signed yet, so Windows may show a blue box, “Windows protected your PC”.

    1. Right-click the download, choose “Extract All”, then open the “wolfweb-windows-x86_64” folder inside it.
    2. Double-click “wolfweb” (wolfweb.exe).
    3. If the blue box appears, click “More info”, then “Run anyway”.

  • Mac

    WolfWeb isn’t notarised by Apple yet, so the first time you open it your Mac says it can’t check it and won’t open it.

    1. Open the download to unzip it, drag “wolfweb” into Applications, then open it. When the Mac refuses, close the message.
    2. Open “System Settings”, then “Privacy & Security”.
    3. Scroll down to the message about wolfweb and click “Open Anyway”, then confirm with your password.
    4. If your Mac says wolfweb “is damaged and can’t be opened”, open “Terminal”, type xattr -cr /Applications/wolfweb.app and press Return, then open it again.
What it does

A browser that comes ready to use

  • Your home page and the WolfWeb Daily

    A new-tab page with your speed dial, and a daily paper made from your interests and the news for your own country. It prints properly on A4.

  • Chrome extensions

    WolfWeb is Chromium underneath, so it runs Chrome extensions.

  • Pinned tabs that stay

    Pinned tabs come back every time WolfWeb starts. Typing an address or clicking a bookmark in one opens a new tab instead of replacing it.

  • Looks you choose

    Pick a background, colours, and light or dark in Chrome’s own Customise panel, and WolfWeb’s home page follows.

  • Bring your stuff

    Import bookmarks from other browsers, and your passwords from a passwords file.

  • Quick commands and gestures

    Ctrl+Shift+Space opens quick commands; hold Alt and drag the mouse to go back, forward, or open and close tabs.

  • More on Linux

    H.264 video (Facebook and other sites that use it), a classic menu bar, and a status bar below the page instead of over it.

  • Your country’s English

    Tell the Daily where you are, and websites are asked for your language as it’s used there: British English in Britain, for example.

Where your things live

Kept on your own computer

Your bookmarks, passwords and history are kept on your own computer. You don’t need an account, and WolfWeb doesn’t send anything to IntelligentWolf.

Goes with WolfMail
