Every time this comes up I wonder why no one mentions qute and nyxt browsers which natively support those bindings and have much more minimal UI. I used to be a vimium user at first, then tridactyl but both fell short and felt hacky and for roughly a year now I’ve been using qutebrowser which is miles better.


I don’t think any of those browsers have the rich extensions I need. For this sole reason, they are out of the competition.


Just out of curiosity, what extensions do you need for your day-to-day use?


For me those would be required: tridactyl, ublock, foxyproxy. Optional ones: sidebery, stylus, cookieautodelete.


I've tried qutebrowser, but always get frustrated with the lack of plugins like adblock.


Qutebrowser has a builtin adblocker and while the ecosystem is much, much smaller than Chrome’s or even FF’s or Safari’s, I haven’t found it lacking to the point of being unusable. Just frustrating a little bit at first, but userscripts from the qutebrowser repo cover pretty much everything for me.
