As someone who used Qute for a long time: * Python is much slower than SBCL (yes, even if rendering is done by Blink); including the lack of threading * Bookmarks are pure crap, they don't have tags nor directories to sort them better * Less hackable (e.g. something that should be possible in Nyxt: https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/issues/3933 https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/issues/3933) * Massive gaps: https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/issues/2328 https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/issues/2328 https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/issues/2492 https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/issues/2492 https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/issues/5731 https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/issues/5731 (!!!) * Per domain/URL settings never progressed further than the initial batch of properties: https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/issues/3636 https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/issues/3636 * Adblocking is better than hostfile but still missing a lot compared to uBlock (https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/issues/6480 https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/issues/6480). No script blocking matrix like uBlock "advanced mode" at all. My impression is that it has been stuck in bug fixing/dependency churn for a long time now. Switched to Firefox while waiting for Nyxt to be usable (apparently, Nyxt 4 will be it).

Nyxt does have ublock origin? It would be a must have for me too.

  Not yet, but Nyxt 4 is supposed to support WebExtensions.

    Nice!! Then I can also use my password manager and more. Will deffo give it a try then. I hope it'll come soon.

you can redirect in QB. this is how i do it (from my config): def redirect(info: interceptor.Request): if info.request_url.host() == "en.m.wikipedia.org": new_url = QUrl(info.request_url) new_url.setHost("en.wikipedia.org") try: info.redirect(new_url) except interceptors.RedirectFailedException: pass

  Cool, thanks for the tip!

> My impression is that it has been stuck in bug fixing/dependency churn for a long time now I don't think it's just your impression: it's exactly what happened. Depending on Qt for the rendering engine means the browser has been tied to the painfully long release cycle of the whole of Qt. Quickly fixing bugs or implementing new features is hard, they have to hack around limited APIs, beg for more and continually fix new bugs introduced by upstream (both Qt and google).
