There are always going to be limitations to extension-based approaches but Firefox with tridactyl is most of the way there capability-wise IMO (https://github.com/tridactyl/tridactyl https://github.com/tridactyl/tridactyl). I use that plus tree-style tabs and find it excellent. There's always some extensibility limitations that break the integration though, like extensions getting disabled on mozilla domains.
I love projects like nyxt and respect their priorities, but without big-player extension support it's usually a no-go for me. Still, I'll be interested to see the ideas they develop trickle out into the rest of the power-browser ecosystem. I especially like that lossless tree history – history management is a very under-explored UX area IMO
- bovine3dom 3y agoYou can let extensions run on Mozilla domains by tweaking some settings in about:config [1]. Mozilla believes that it creates a security risk and that you shouldn't do it.

- micimize 3y agoOh thank you so much! Some of these exclusions make some sense to me but having my ctrl+n mashing interrupted by support.mozilla.com was fairly frustrating. Also security wise if I install a malicious extension with permissions to abuse these domains I'm already a goner haha
