General

You can access general configuration through:

• Main menu: AwesomeB → Preferences
• Shortcut: Generic ANSI: CmdOrCtrl+, · Generic ISO: Shift+CmdOrCtrl+'

Here you will find different sections of generic configuration.

Information

Here you will find the application version, the Chrome version, the path to the AwesomeB configuration folder, and the URL of the repository.

Note

Keep in mind that all configuration files (sessions, history, bookmarks, etc.) are stored in plain text. This means you can back them up using your version control system.

Search engines

As you saw in the first steps section, you need to configure a first search engine when you start the browser for the first time.

From here, you can add more, edit, or delete them.

Download folder

Lets you configure the folder where the browser will save downloads.

History retention

Lets you specify how many days you want to keep the browsing history. There is also a link to the history view.

Closed tabs retention

When you close a tab, AwesomeB does so virtually. It actually remains there hidden for a few days (in case you want to recover it). From here you can specify how many days you want closed tabs to be kept.
