I agree, all approaches to this have some kind of major drawback. The main pain point with the approach chosen by qutebrowser is probably missing support for WebExtensions (i.e. Chrome/Firefox extensions), though I still hope that&#x27

Thanks for the support! As for sites not working, if there isn't an issue about them yet, please report them! Often all that's needed is either a faked user-agent or a small JavaScript snippet: https://github.com/q

Like mentioned by toyg in another reply, AV engines are really overzealous when it comes to PyInstaller executables :( Not much I can do about that, but I opened https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/issues&#x

You were faster than my release announcement :D (Still struggling with the macOS release because of connectivity issues at the hoster's side from what it seems)

I love this comment :) As for adblocking, I wouldn't recommend jblock (it's rather buggy from what I've seen so far) - but a built-in adblocker based on Brave's Rust library is almost ready now: https://github

FWIW Google already did this back in 2019, without any announcement - at that point, I added a workaround, which I hope will continue to work: https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/issues/5182

You're giving me evil ideas for a new "feature" in qutebrowser for the next April's Fools. (Though it has too many users nowadays to do those kinds of shenanigans - a couple of years back with only a handful of users, I

Extensions are tied to the browser pretty tightly (think UI, bookmarks, open tabs access, etc. etc.), while QtWebEngine (which qutebrowser uses) uses a more low-level part of Chromium which only shows a single tab (the so called "conte

Yep, qutebrowser should also have some more hinting modes :D https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/issues/521 You can't really write Python well inline (as an oneliner), so custom hints would look a

Yup - note the built-in adblocker is very basic at the moment (just a list of blocked hosts which doesn't block e.g. YouTube ads or ads served from the main domain of a page). This is going to change soon, however, with a new adblocker

Can you elaborate? Maybe there's something to learn for qutebrowser's hint implementation :)

FWIW there are userscripts to integrate password management with qutebrowser: https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/tree/master/misc/... What are you using for device synchronization? Something

Works for me. Perhaps you're using an older Qt version?

Doesn't seem to be qutebrowser specific. I only see a date and nothing more on that page, no matter what browser I use (qutebrowser, Firefox, Chromium)
