If you like Xxxterm but feel like it isn't quite your cup of tea, try one of these other similar alternate web browsers: - Luakit: http://luakit.org/projects/luakit/ http://luakit.org/projects/luakit/ My favourite in this list. Just webkit + lightweight lua shell. Infinitely customizable. - Surf: http://surf.suckless.org/ http://surf.suckless.org/ From the same people who created wmii and dwm - Uzbl: http://uzbl.org/ http://uzbl.org/ Haven't had much luck with this one, but it's quite interesting. A while back, there was some work into getting this to play nice with emacs (google: Ezbl)

If you want vim-like browser, try Pentadactyl: http://dactyl.sourceforge.net/pentadactyl/ http://dactyl.sourceforge.net/pentadactyl/ You can mappings, like this one, which will take you from a comments page on Hacker News to the actual article: :autocmd LocationChange news.ycombinator.com map g1 :js openUILinkIn($(".title a")[0], "current")<CR> From https://github.com/aantn/castle/blob/master/home/.pentadactylrc https://github.com/aantn/castle/blob/master/home/.pentadacty...

  Nice tip. At one point I used and loved Vimperator and then migrated to Pentadactyl, but ultimately got fed up with Firefox's bloat and memory management issues.

    Same. I sadly used Chrome to post that comment, but I'll be back one day.

      I'd recommend checking out Firefox Aurora (http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/aurora/ http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/aurora/) - Firefox is really looking great these day. The new native developer tools are coming along nicely and hopefully will prove more stable than Firebug.

        There's an Arch Linux dev that maintains a custom repo with Aurora builds and matching Aurora Pentadactyl packages in the AUR, for those on the distro. A quick search on "Heftig Repo" should bring up the correct results, and the BBS thread is here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=117157 https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=117157
