For Arch, it's just pacman -S gource

Some of these things are actually pretty cool IMO, like http://keithclark.co.uk/articles/pure-css-parallax-websites/... from https://github.com/you-dont-need/You-Dont-Need-Javascri…

But the alternative seems to be browser exposing APIs for all those permissions through Javascript and the end-user not really having any control over that. Perhaps I'm just naive …
