Support for Chromium-based browsers #6

Open a13 opened 5 years ago

a13 commented 5 years ago

is it possible to add the support for Chromium?

the db filename is ~/.config/$APPNAME/Default/History in most cases

appname could be chromium, google-chrome, vivaldi etc

cireu commented 5 years ago

I seldom use Chromium, so I can't help to maintain the code part of chromium or other browser than Firefox. But it may be a good idea to make this package more extensible.

BTW, I am working on a new feature -- a generic API to make a generic async candidate interface. If that work can be done, it may also help counsel-ffdata to load data asynchronously.

You can make the code more generic, since both firefox and chromium use sqlite dbs, so people can add support for alternative browsers easier. There's a simple history jump script I wrote a long time ago so you can get my idea: https://github.com/a13/scripts/blob/master/webjump.sh

I've taken a look at the code again, and the task looks even simpler: just make :query-stmt customizable (for both bookmarks and history items).

Is profile.ini a part of Firefox or it's your own file? I can't find such file in my $HOME directory
