I can't install it now, but I will as soon as possible. Now I'm using Conkeror [1]. Essenstial features for me, are: Buffer selecting with fuzzy matching Hinting links with letters, home row would be superb Some developer interface for creating interactive javascript extensions [1] http://www.conkeror.org/ http://www.conkeror.org/

And the ability to block ads, which is possible in Conkeror. I'd also prefer an Emacs-style keybinding set (or at least the ability to map one), so I don't have to switch muscle-memory mode when jumping from my editor to graphical browser. But, I'd be willing to give that up if the memory footprint of a thin Webkit-based browser is more minimal. I occasionally have to restart Conkeror after sustained heavy use due to it hogging system resources (it'll eventually bring my Atom n270 to a grinding halt). This is probably xulrunner's fault though, I suspect.

  This is probably xulrunner's fault though, I suspect. Do you have any actual data to support that claim (or suspicion, as you want)?

    It's just a suspicion, as stated. The reason for this though is that Firefox has (or had) the exact same behavior in older versions I've used prior to switching to Conkeror.

      I was thinking this was going to be your argument, which is why I pressed the issue. If you have a reproducible testcase where Firefox without plugins ends up "hogging system resources", then by all means report it.

You may like dwb[1] It uses webkit and handles what you mentioned. Written in C++, so you don't get the Haskell learning part, but it doesn have the javascript extensions thing (albeit not fully finished yet). [1] http://portix.bitbucket.org/dwb/ http://portix.bitbucket.org/dwb/
