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

yes. it's actually the best browser out there.

>inb4 botnet
Tyler Kelly
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)
Joseph Martin
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.
Mason Rogers
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.

How would you install a userscript?
I have no idea
Caleb Fisher
I meant to say the file save dialog, which is custom. My main issue is that tab completion does not insert a trailing slash for folders, so you have to input slashes manually in order to navigate multiple levels.
Also, there's really no convenient way to navigate upwards in the directory tree. Ideally (for me) it would work like helm-find-files.
Isaac Gonzalez
Check out $HOME/.local/share/qutebrowser
Also /usr/share/qutebrowser
Leo Reyes
What would that be on Windows?

It's shit.
Connor Lewis
literally bloated dogshit compared to Next Browser
Levi Russell
you still have a ~ director on Windows, it's just not in /home, it's usually in \Users\[user]\Appdata\Local or somthing dumb like that
Robert Rivera
Qute is nice but too bad it doesn't have any equivalents of ublock origin.
If it has one then I'm pretty sure I will use it as my main browser.
Carter Cruz
No idea. However, if it's implemented in the same way on windows, it should contain a directory named "greasemonkey".
Also, it's the same directory where "blocked hosts" file is, so you can see which file is updated when you run :adblock-update
Carter Diaz
>Python
Fucking retarded. It'll be as slow as every bloated browser then. Into trash.
Oliver Walker
>If you have the necessary stuff installed
What's the necessary stuff
Ethan Clark
Ah, I see. Helm is somewhat closer to how the qutebrowser completion works currently, At some point I'd like to have file selection integrated with that, see github.com
The data path displayed in :version.
What's wrong about the file picker, unless it's what said already?
Python never really was an issue performance-wise (and if it was, there was a good way to fix it), except for startup time on older machines. Note all the heavy lifting (network requests, rendering, etc.) is done by QtWebEngine/Chromium in C++ anyways.
Depends on your distribution. On Arch, it's /usr/lib/qt/plugins/platformthemes/KDEPlasmaPlatformTheme.so in the plasma-integration package I think.

No previews. At all. Worse than GTK+ filepicker.
You literally have to fool it into using KDE dialogue.
