The better part is that the UI is actually programmable. If you use vim plugins in other browsers, you'll notice that the UI doesn't always respond. This is because the UI is injected into the page as an iframe or something. This is not the case with nyxt. It's like using the old Firefox plugins before they killed XUL. Unfortunately, I couldn't get used to using Nyxt. The performance was too bad. I'll need to try V3…

I deeply want to adopt Nyxt, but it's hard to give up all the niceties of Firefox, mainly plugins (ublock, dark reader, cookie autodelete, multi-account containers, etc.).

nyxt has multi-account containers now, use: make-buffer-with-context

What’s better in Nyxt than other browsers is you have a whole lisp runtime which is directly connected to the browser engine. Nyxt is trying to be the Emacs of web browsers; all the theoretical and practical benefits of that model apply.

It can never be the Emacs of web browsers because the browser engine is written in C/C++, not Lisp and therefore minimally extensible through a very restricted API that is not even controlled or influenced in any way by the Nyxt team. I guess they could fork an engine but good luck with that. Last I checked, it didn't even support uBlock origin. That alone makes it a no-go for me and I imagine most folks who visit HN…

Privoxy?

Although I use both, myself: Privoxy and µBlock Origin.

The website (at Download Nyxt 3.0.0) mentions: > macOS is not officially supported by Nyxt. An official port is currently in development. Unofficial, and older ports are available below: Docker, Macports. While Docker would work on a Mac with ARM, Docker on macOS is still slow AFAIK and a full-blown Linux VM. It also requires X11, the documentation mentions XQuartz. Hence, I'll skip this software, for now.

Indeed, we're working on it now. We even have a branch now :-)! Please stay tuned!

This is incredibly exciting. Let me know if I can help test! Where does the branch live?
