#22Every web browser should have a tree based history by this point. This part is cool: > Nyxt is web engine agnostic. We utilize a minimal API to interface to any web engine. This makes us flexible and resilient to changes in the web landscape. Currently, we support WebKit and WebEngine (Blink). Does this browser have anything do to with Next? The logo seems similar.
I wonder when I see that gecko/servo (whatever Firefox engine is) is rarely the goto web engine for foss projects. Is it hard to embed?

This whole project looks dope so allow me to make some superficial bikesheddy complaints. 1. It just has bad KHTML forks for the engine. What about Gecko and Presto and Trident all the other fine renderers? 2. I don't know what kind of lisp they're using (probably Common Lisp), anyway it's not my favourite kind.

well, given the emacs-nature of this project maybe someone will come up with a mini-transpiler so that one may use their favorite lisp.

#24I'll look at this again when they support gecko
I run Firefox myself, but you can't really blame developers for not wanting to deal with the whims of Mozilla.
I am looking for info. Why is Firefox web engine no the go to choice for foss projects? It is not embeddable or just really complicated or or what? If so are they making any progress towards more adoption?

#25Wish this were easier to download since it's more common to use Brew now. Very excited at the idea of having fast fuzzy switching of tabs. I wish more things operated like that.
There's an extension called Fast Tab Switcher for Firefox that has a similar functionality. It's really good

What does that mean in practice though? Since it’s not a browser plug-in, I assume the download is an actual fully fledged browser. Perhaps I’m missing something obvious.
What rendering engine did they choose? Or is it possible to switch between them?
Re: Nyxt Browser
#27Nyxt seems amazing, but it's hard for me to imagine using a browser without Ublock Origin. I understand that it doesn't really make sense for everyone to support webextensions, and it's a huge amount of extra work, but it's just a huge barrier to adoption.
It's hard to trust the smaller browsers to keep me private online if there isn't something that gives me that same level of control over blocking. And there's a huge adblocking community built around this software that maintains lists, fixes websites, and it's just a bunch of privacy-focused community effort that is hard for any small team to replicate.
But aside from webextension support, Nyxt looks really exciting, and I'm glad that people are building browsers that are actually innovating in this space.

As scriptable as Nyxt looks, I imagine you could pretty easily wire it up to block a list of domains.

Have you considered blocking on the DNS level with a hosts file or NextDNS?
Re: Nyxt Browser
#30This looks amazing.
I've never used Common Lisp how common is it (heh heh)? I really enjoyed hacking around in Clojure, so I may have to pick it up. I'd love to hear from anyone who's done serious Common Lisp work. Why'd you choose Common Lisp vs any alternative?
