I used Conkeror for a couple years as my main browser and really enjoyed the experience. Combined with a tiling window manager (Awesome WM in my case) it made for a really fun computing environment. I felt really cool being able to navigate through the web without touching my mouse.
Like all interfaces, it was better at some things and worse at others, when compared to a more traditional browser. Ultimately, I don't think I was more or less productive with it. Sometimes I do wish I was still using it regularly, especially after I've spent a few hours in emacs.
- smazga 12y agoI use it with i3, and on a mac (shameless plug: https://github.com/smazga/conkeror_mac_bundler https://github.com/smazga/conkeror_mac_bundler). You really do feel a little bit like a wizard when you can switch from your text editor, browse the internet, and then jump back without touching the mouse. Unfortunately, many places on the web seem to be trending toward mouse (or touch)-centric design, which makes it harder to navigate from a keyboard. Still, I really like it.
- ent 12y agoWhy did you drop it (and what do you use now)? I used to use conkeror too, but dropped in favour of firefox + keysnail. As an emacs user, I just loved the conkeror ui. I left it because it lacked some firefox features, can't remember them all but one was on-demand loading of tabs when starting the browser.
