| Path | What |
|---|---|
~/.config/wr/config.toml | your settings and key bindings |
~/.cache/wr/ | the page cache |
~/.local/state/wr/history.jsonl | your history, one JSON line per visit |
~/.local/state/wr/bookmarks.json | your bookmarks |
~/.local/state/wr/update.json | the newest release seen, and which version was announced |
(The config and state locations follow XDG_CONFIG_HOME and XDG_STATE_HOME
if you set them.) Folders are private (0700) and files readable only by you
(0600), except the config file, which is 0644.
Privacy: the cache and the history store the addresses and the content of
what you read, on your machine only. To stop it: turn off Cache pages and
Remember history in Settings. To erase what is already there: menu → Clear
all cache, the History panel (Ctrl+X), or delete the folders above.
wr --clear-cache clears the cache from the command line.
What wr sends over the network: the pages you open (and the web search you
type, to the engine you chose), at most one request every 12 hours to
api.github.com to look for a newer release (off with Check for updates), and,
for a page drawn by JavaScript, whatever that page’s own scripts request while a
headless browser renders it (off with Render JavaScript pages). Nothing else,
and nothing about you beyond the User-Agent and the language of your locale.
