> People tend to think in terms of what they could lose, and not in terms of potential gains. It's easier for users to take familiar extensions to a new browser, than having to learn how to use an analog. How is this thinking wise? What are the potential gains and analogs for the end (without having to learn how to code)? What is the analog to Bypass Paywalls Clean and Cookie AutoDelete as an example? If writing new…
They do not leave out WebExtension support, they are working to get there: > We're focusing on #2989 since it will allow running Nyxt on macOS and support WebExtensions. https://github.com/atlas-engineer/nyxt/issues/2875#issuecomm...
Like, they are working on it right now. Or the prerequisite, to get electron version of Nyxt working. https://github.com/atlas-engineer/nyxt/issues/3544

#63> Instantly switch between your tabs [...] Easily find relevant tabs with a fuzzy search I personally use virtual desktops for organizing windows of tabs, but if I was one of the masochists who had 100+ open tabs, I would be moving to this immediately
Chrome has tab search. In MacOS, Shift+Cmd+A

I loved qutebrowser, but many pages didn't work because of the rendering engine. That made me go back to Firefox.
The engine is QtWebEngine, which is essentially Chromium without the proprietary stuff. It may a be a bit outdated, but I've never seen a page not being rendered properly. Maybe you used it way back when the default engine was QtWebKit.
Interesting. I'll give it another try.

You can configure both to use either. List of emacs-like config in Qutebrowser: https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/blob/main/doc/hel...
Like always it's a second class citizen. I spend a stupid 6 months trying to use emacs like vim. Emacs isn't a text editor. If you need to edit text as a rectangle of characters then you can drop in evil mode. Expecting to use emacs control characters from evil mode it a bit like using Kanji to write English.
If you want to write English using kanji I recommend starting here: https://www.zompist.com/yingzi/yingzi.htm

#69As someone that started in computing when affordable computing was all about keyboard, and mices only existed in computers with prices similar to buying a car or a mortgage, I don't get the hype of keyboard == hacker mentality. Specially since that on my hacker circle of Demoscene, during the 16 bit days, we were mostly on Atari and Amiga systems, then we had plenty of mouse time, and no one ever stop to wonder we we…
>I don't get the hype of keyboard == hacker mentality. This is not about a hype or "looking cool". Mouse and GUIs are faster and more ergonomic for exploratory activities ("how do I do X" for a new task, skimming a document or folder, etc), while keyboard (keyboard shortcuts, command line) is faster for routine, repeatable tasks. Web browsing is full of the latter. I personally strongly prefer the keyboard and find i…
Browsing is mainly of exploration (e.g. reading) then data entry (which does require a keyboard but all on one page no scrolling) and much less repeatable tasks.
My hand is usually already on the mouse. Switching apps, scrolling text etc.
I started on PC-DOS and mainframes so was originally all keyboard, but having mouse made things much easier for me.
Now don't get me started on gestures - I can never remember any. - Which might be some of the reason to use mice I can't remember a lot of keyboard shortcuts let me have discoverable menus etc. Pit Smalltalk did not become mainstream.
