If you don't mind a learning curve and primarily keyboard driven, e.g. if you already love Vim, consider giving qutebrowser a try. You can even run it straight from the source tree, since it uses Python for its wrapper.
It uses QtWebEngine and Chromium, which does mean some issues and drawbacks, but the frame around it is nearly perfect. It's an amazing piece of software, and truly next generation browsing for nerds, IMO.
It's a bit like Vimium, but the keyboard bindings are native and always work, as opposed to being at the mercy of JS injection into the page. All of the settings are accessible via :command mode, and permissions are as granular as you can imagine. There's no graphical settings, but other than that I think it matches your description.
