I use both QuteBrowser and Firefox with Vim Vixen, one of the thing that make me reluctant to switch completely are mostly addons, Multi-Container, cookies auto delete, ublock origin, Privacy Badger, ... I can't browse the Internet without those, and the built-in adblocker of QB is unfortunately not that performant. Also, you can't use the keyboard everywhere (thanks to the modern web) Random example off the top of my head: https://questions.wizardzines.com/event-loops.html https://questions.wizardzines.com/event-loops.html

> and the built-in adblocker of QB is unfortunately not that performant With "performant", I assume you mean "how well it works", not "how fast it works"? FWIW a better adblocker is in progress: https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/pull/5317 https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/pull/5317 > Also, you can't use the keyboard everywhere (thanks to the modern web) Random example off the top of my head: https://questions.wizardzines.com/event-loops.html https://questions.wizardzines.com/event-loops.html Yay... You can always customize the hints.selectors setting to add selectors for those (for websites you use a lot). There are also some thoughts on how to add hints to all elements with a JS click handler, but I haven't had a chance to take a closer look yet: https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/pull/4817 https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/pull/4817

The way I use qb is I've switched javascript.enabled to false, and occasionally session-enable it for some sites (by default, this is done by typing tsh) I have also written off a portion of the web as not being worth mytime, however.
