No adblock is a show stopper for me, but they have a campaign on Indie Go Go with adblocking as one of the goals https://github.com/atlas-engineer/next/issues/32 https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/next-browser-nix-support#...
I know it’s not as comprehensive as extension based blocking, but it seems solid.

I’ve been going pretty strong with a host based blocker. I mention this in case you really want to use Next and are willing to try a different blocking approach :) I know it’s not as comprehensive as extension based blocking, but it seems solid.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Well, the Lisp part is for the reprogrammability of it all, the inspectability. You can on-the-fly edit a compiled version of Next, which is pretty cool I think!
Isn't there some popular language with the same capabilities? Is it a Lisp speciality?
A lot of the focus seems to be on making the browser easily extendable which is great, but can extensions interact with/modify the contents of web pages rather than the browser itself? I am not seeing it in a quick browse through the docs, and that is kind of the main point of most browser extensions.
I feel like the web has become that "City of Destruction" that is talked about in "Pilgrim's Progress"; something like 95% of the bytes transferred are just junk.
I am not at all interested in "seeing the content the way the created intended it", I really would rather decompose it into a semantic graph and then put it together to show me what is relevant.
That means no Javascript. If I have to have a malware player so I can use the junkware of the day I'll use Chrome.
I’m really excited for you & for your browser. I was a contributor to your Indiegogo campaign & was really bummed to see it fall short of the mark (although no doubt nowhere near as bummed as you were); it’s great to see that you’ve managed to move ahead nonetheless.
I can’t wait to replace Firefox!
I like the idea but it doesn't go anywhere near far enough.

to answer your question, yes
