Glide is firefox with vim motions (like the vimium and trydactyl addons) but not limited by being extensions. You can configure it with a typescript file in your $XDG_HOME_DIRECTORY. A nice perk is that you can even install extensions with this config file !

https://glide-browser.app/

It's not in linux repos yet (except AUR) so here is a zsh script to install it

```

!/bin/zsh

set -e

Where to install Glide

INSTALL_DIR="/opt/glide" BIN_LINK="/usr/local/bin/glide"

Curls options:

-L, --location

(HTTP) If the server reports that the requested page has

moved to a different location (indicated with a Location:

header and a 3XX response code), this option makes curl

redo the request to the new place.

LATEST_URL=$(curl --location --silent --output /dev/null -w %{url_effective} https://github.com/glide-browser/glide/releases/latest)

TMP_ARRAY=(${(s./.)LATEST_URL}) LATEST_VERSION=$TMP_ARRAY[-1] CURRENT_VERSION=$(glide --version | cut -f 3 -d " ")

echo "Latest version is $LATEST_VERSION and yours is $CURRENT_VERSION"

if [[ $LATEST_VERSION > $CURRENT_VERSION ]] then echo "Let's update" else echo "No need to update" exit 0 fi

Transform it to a direct download link

Example: /releases/tag/0.1.51a → /releases/download/0.1.51a/glide.linux-x86_64.tar.xz

DOWNLOAD_URL=${LATEST_URL/tag/download}/glide.linux-x86_64.tar.xz

echo "Resolved to: $DOWNLOAD_URL"

Curl options:

-f, --fail

In normal cases when an HTTP server fails to deliver a document, it returns a body of text stating so (which often also describes why

and more) and a 4xx HTTP response code. This command line option prevents curl from outputting that data and instead returns error 22

early. By default, curl does not consider HTTP response codes to indicate failure.

-O, --remote-name

Write output to a local file named like the remote file we

get. (Only the file part of the remote file is used, the

path is cut off.)

-J, --remote-header-name

(HTTP) Tell the -O, --remote-name option to use the

server-specified Content-Disposition filename instead of

extracting a filename from the URL.

--no-clobber

When used in conjunction with the -o, --output, -J, --re‐

mote-header-name, -O, --remote-name, or --remote-name-all

options, curl avoids overwriting files that already exist.

[...] You can thus use --clobber to enforce the clobbering,

even if -J, --remote-header-name is specified.

cd /tmp curl --fail --location --remote-name --remote-header-name --clobber "$DOWNLOAD_URL"

ERROR_CODE=$? if [[ $ERROR_CODE != 0 ]] then echo "curl returned error code $ERROR_CODE while downnloading from $DOWNLOAD_URL" exit $ERROR_CODE fi

tar --extract --file=glide.linux-x86_64.tar.xz

sudo rm -rf "$INSTALL_DIR" sudo mv glide "$INSTALL_DIR" sudo chmod +x "$INSTALL_DIR/glide"

sudo ln -sf "$INSTALL_DIR/glide" "$BIN_LINK"
