owobrowser

FAQ

what's this?

owobrowser is an e621 browser that inlines images on a single page to improve user experience.

how do I use it?

just type your e621 query into the search box and click "search".

what if I want to browse a pool?

go to the homepage for the pool you want to browse (for example: Victory Fire), copy the pool ID from the URL (https://e621.net/pool/show/12666), and paste that into owobrowser's search box.

my search is missing results!

currently, owobrowser omits all posts that aren't images from the search results (i.e. webm, flash). this may change in the future; however, for now, posts must be images for them to show up in owobrowser.

nothing is showing up for my search!

if owobrowser says (content hidden), then the posts are all there, but they've just been hidden. (this is default behavior for an empty search.) press the button to show them. you can also press it again to hide the images for whatever reason.
however, if owobrowser tells you that no image posts were found, your search did not return any results. try something different.

what is comic mode?

since most comics on e621 are much taller than they are wide, I've found that allowing the comics to display at full width and stack on top of each other makes for a better viewing experience. press the to turn it on.

are there any special keybinds?

currently, the left and right arrows are bound to going back a page and going forward a page. I'll gladly add more if there's a need for them.

is owobrowser open-source?

as of right now, owobrowser is hosted on a private GitHub repository. however, I have no problem with giving the source code to anyone who wants it. if you want a copy of it, contact me at one of the profiles below and I'll send it to you as soon as I can.
