Other than that , Luakit seems fine to me , almost never crashed, and I feel comfy using it. - - -# Falkon -This was my backup web browser which I use for browsing "modern" sites and the Fediverse social media , but also development platforms like Gitea or SourceHut. -While I don't use it much and it's barely customized , it works how I want it to work. -Unlike luakit I can't use Vim-like keybindings here without an addon (and Falkon kind of lacks addon support) , but that's not much of a problem. -It sometimes crashes , but it's due to running out of memory , thus requiring me to close some running programs on my host. Otherwise it's a nice browser. - - -# Epiphany -I once tried this web browser but given that I don't like touchscreen UI on desktop and this had practically no useful keybindings I don't use it. - - -# Netsurf -Really nice browser, but I mostly was reluctant to daily drive it for odd reasons. Most HTML5 sites are broken on this browser (it's a feature and that's good) because it's a real web browser for real web standards. - - -# Qutebrowser -This one was once my main browser but because it's too heavy for my host (both memory usage and disk space) I stopped using it. -I would consider using it again but I'm just reluctant. It works fine on my laptop though. - - -# Vimb -Really good and all but doesn't support disabling JavaScript neither it has a per-domain whitelist[*]. -Also it lacks tabs but for that the "tabbed" utility from suckless.org can be attached to the browser. - -[*] This was proven false by ~shokara , also the whitelisting on vimb is really tricky to do - -# Badwolf -This is by far , one of the best web browsers out there, almost extremely minimal, but even that bored me enough to not use it. Weird - - -# Lariza -Building it from sources wasn't entirely difficult at all. -Another browser which follows the minimalist fashion, like Badwolf. -Though it does not have Vi-like keybindings (even though it's mentioned on badwolf's page) so it requires learning how to use it. -Also for tabs it can use "tabbed" - -# Ungoogled Chromium -It's still Chromium under the hood, despite the efforts of its developer to go against Google itself - -# wyeb -Just couldn't get used to this browser, unlike other Vim-like browsers this one kinda sucks. -It also supports the use of "tabbed" for browser tabs. |
