qutebrowser

qutebrowser (pronounced "cute browser") is a web browser for Linux, Windows, and macOS operating systems with vim-style key bindings and a minimal GUI.[8] It is keyboard-driven and is inspired by similar software such as Vimperator and dwb.[9] It uses DuckDuckGo as the default search engine. Qutebrowser is included in the native repositories of Linux distributions such as Fedora and Arch Linux.[10]

Qutebrowser is developed by Florian Bruhin, for which he received a CH Open Source award in 2016.[1]

Functionality

As in Vim/vi the browser has a Command mode and Insert mode. In command mode key bindings can be used to perform functions, in example: 'G' to go to the bottom of a page, and 'gg' to the top. Specific commands can also be bound to keys or key-sequences by the user.

gollark: What could POSSIBLY go wrong?!
gollark: Well, in that case, compile that PHP interpreter written in JS to Lua.
gollark: Or bash, even.
gollark: Is there a JS→Lua compiler?
gollark: Yet.
