I didn’t expect too many clever features but the special link hot keys and tree based history is something I didn’t know I wanted but now I do

Nyxt seems really cool. I have a vague hope in the back of my mind that itll eventually be an emacs-like editor as well as browser. It seems like it could be a cool lispy answer to things like vscode etc.

Every 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.

On Firefox, I use the Link Hints extension for that purpose.

Qutebrowser also has link hints as a standard built-in feature.

Yes. It was renamed a while ago:

It's a rebrand iirc.

Link hits is what vim mode (like vimium) brings on Firefox or chrome with plugins. Personally I cannot live without it.

So happy to see tree history!
