So why this over qutebrowser [1] ? (Which has been my go-to keyboard-first browser for a long time.) This isn't mentioned in the FAQ despite I think being the natural comparison. [1] https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser
Earlier quoted context omitted.
The only connection between this and emacs is that both use a Lisp language (Nyxt is written in Common Lisp)... and that Nyxt is inspired by how emacs works. Anyway, why did you assume it is an emacs plugin? It doesn't say that anywhere.
My first impression was the same. Mostly from the screenshots, each one had multiple places with an "emacs" text element. If this is not bound to emacs, what the hell is the emacs thing doing there?

The tree based history feature is amazing

It's written in common lisp which is universally written in Emacs.

Nyxt is very promising, and I hope it gains momentum. The obvious advantage of Nyxt is programmability and keyboard-driven workflows. However, I use old hardware, and it's a bit slow and laggy. Chromium behaves the same way, so I imagine this is due to WebKit and Blink being significantly heavier than Gecko. Firefox is really snappy on old hardware, at least when running Linux, and uses a modest amount of memory.
What's considered old nowadays? My current desktop had some ~3Ghz AMD processor from ~2020, I don't even remember what it is. Maybe 16 GiB of memory. Runs Firefox and Jetbrains good enough that I've not had to consider upgrading. I use a Debian based distro.
In the prosess of switching it out completely now though.

Vim vs Emacs bindings for one.

(which can be written in other editors: https://lispcookbook.github.io/cl-cookbook/editor-support.ht... vim, VSCode with LSP support, Jetbrains, Atom/Pulsar, Sublime, Jupyter notebook…) (just saying to not scare people. Emacs is still the best for CL IMO)
