Is this standalone or an emacs plugin? I rather use vim motions, so is this locked to emacs, or can i do vim style for things instead?

The only connection between this and emacs is that both use a Lisp language (Nyxt is written in Common Lisp)... and that Nyxt is inspired by how emacs works. Anyway, why did you assume it is an emacs plugin? It doesn't say that anywhere.

  My first impression was the same. Mostly from the screenshots, each one had multiple places with an "emacs" text element. If this is not bound to emacs, what the hell is the emacs thing doing there?

    It's written in common lisp which is universally written in Emacs.

Emacs is still the best for CL IMO)

        Yes, I can also wear underwear as a hat.

        Please, netizen, educate yourself. Common Lisp is written in many places outside of Emacs. If you want to wear your underwear as a hat, that's your own business. Don't blame Common Lisp, or the array of editors which have nice support for it.

    i imagine it means emacs keybindings, as opposed to vi keybinds, in which case that indicator would indicate the mode

Last I used it, default keybinds were very emacs-y, but there was a vim mode (was a bit rough) you could use instead.

It's a standalone program, and you can absolutely use vim keybindings! Not locked to emacs in any way. Out of the box it is ready to do vim keybindings, emacs keybindings, or CUA style keybindings. How practical, wouldn't you say? :)
