Well /g/. We need to talk.

With Morzilla's failure towards giving support to ALSA (I am in favor of using PulseAudio nonetheless), without even making it public (they didn't announce it); and Morzilla's continuous stream of shit regarding the community: legacy addons, style and feel, features, performance, memory usage, etc. There is only one solution.

No, it is not Chromium, no. It may be fast, usable as fuck, and open source; but it is owned by Google, who does what it pleases, throwing binaries to listen to you, not answering to the users' requests, begging for customization and for a lightweight experience, for a browser owned by the community

It is Qutebrowser, the only browser with a bright future. Vim like keybindings, which, like them or not, are great for navigation (maybe not for text editing, so it says my Emacs friend). The dev is the most caring of all the ones I have ever met, working his life into it. It has a built in adblocker, addon support is coming, user scripts are being developed, fast and lightweight (go with the Chromium backend or with Webkit directly)

And the most important bit of all... It is named Qute-browser. And if you didn't know, the dev is running a kickstarter now, so go and help! Make yourself a favor

I used to like it but its overly complex and eats a whole lot of battery imo so kinda not worth it vs e.g. chromium

>>60092511
What killed dwb (and I think others) is that the transition from WebKit1 to WebKit2 essentially meant a rewrite, and the devs didn't have the time for that. qutebrowser was in a similar situation with QtWebKit/QtWebEngine a year ago, but thanks to the first crowdfunding, I was able to work on that full time for two months, which made it possible to do that transition without taking years.

vimb and uzbl are currently somewhat actively developed again and working on a WebKit2 port:
https://github.com/fanglingsu/vimb/commits/webkit2
https://github.com/uzbl/uzbl/commits/next

But yeah - going for 3.5 years now with no intentions of stopping.
>>
>>60092582
jumanji, luakit and dwb are dead since years. surf lacks too much functionality IMHO. uzbl seems to rise from the ashes after months (years?) of inactivity now.
>>

thanks for saving my wrists and battery.

Any intention of porting Qutebrowser to C+=?

I was curious and looked in the archives for other threads

is there a nice place to share user scripts ? i would really like to see your user scripts and to share mine.
>>
>>60092839
pastebin.
>>
>>60092839
For things which are usable for other people too, there's misc/userscripts in the repo:

https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/tree/master/misc/userscripts
>>
For real though bro, the only annoying thing left for me with this browser is the lack of tab completion in the download dialog. Ctrl-W to delete words(a bash thing afaik) would be very nice too.
>>
>>60092905
much cleaner code than mine, i think i will use these userscripts as templates from now on
>>
>>60092917
See https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/issues/2104

ctrl-w already deletes words, except in input fields on pages if you mean that:
https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/issues/68

You can add a binding to do something similar though:

:bind --mode=insert <ctrl-w> fake-key <ctrl-shift-left> ;; fake-key <delete>
>>
>>60093011
I guess I was remembering the functionality wrong, I thought I was asking to be able to delete single words in filepaths. That would probably conflict with the actual usage.
And yeah, I'll just let you keep on trucking with that laundry list you gave yourself.
