I recently discovered qutebrowser which is like Firefox + Tridactyl / vimperator only it supports this kind of functionality without a plugin and feels much snappier. Do you guys like it?
Qute ftw

>inb4 botnet

its ok
needs a full-featured adblock
Jacob Perry
it is free software
don't know if it renders everything correctly yet but it is the best in terms of UI experience so far
Jacob Sullivan
It does render everything correctly. It uses chrome's web engine which is why many call it botnet. It's fully libre software tho and makes zero connections not requested by users so thankfully it's not
What sucks about it is:
1) Adblocking. There's just a hosts file which tries hard but doesn't succeed wery well.
2) hjkl keybindings don't move webpages on some websites due to popups and js fuckery. happens rarely but makes me wanna kill people when it happens. It's not a browsers fault tho since arrows in other browsers also don't work on those sites.
3) Extension support. There's literally none. It does support userscripts tho, which kinda helps but not really.
Otherwise this is an absolute 10/10 win.
It is ultra comfy and using 'f' to get keyboard shortcuts to link is the most useful thing ever. I can't use different browsers now.

And userscript support (at least with Jow Forums x) is sometimes buggy (this happens in around every 10th thread I visit)

So basically all it needs is a uBlockOrigin and uMatrix integrated and anti-fingerprinting methods. Since it uses WebKit (or Blink?) it should support addons for safari (or chrome) right?
Jack Johnson
It needs to have an extension/plugin system (being worked on atm) and some QoL fixes (like a decent fucking file select dialog), but even without that stuff it's got the best UX of any browser.

Nope, QtWebEngine doesn't support Chromium addons (and QtWebKit doesn't support Safari addons).
A Python extension API is currently in the works, after that it should be possible to write something uMatrix-like (or a better adblocker) based on that.
It uses whatever file dialog Qt uses. If you have the necessary stuff installed and do "export QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=kde" you get the KDE one, with image previews and all.
