With Morzilla's failure towards giving support to ALSA (I am in favor of using PulseAudio nonetheless), without even making it public (they didn't announce it); and Morzilla's continuous stream of shit regarding the community: legacy addons, style and feel, features, performance, memory usage, etc. There is only one solution.
No, it is not Chromium, no. It may be fast, usable as fuck, and open source; but it is owned by Google, who does what it pleases, throwing binaries to listen to you, not answering to the users' requests, begging for customization and for a lightweight experience, for a browser owned by the community
It is Qutebrowser, the only browser with a bright future. Vim like keybindings, which, like them or not, are great for navigation (maybe not for text editing, so it says my Emacs friend). The dev is the most caring of all the ones I have ever met, working his life into it. It has a built in adblocker, addon support is coming, user scripts are being developed, fast and lightweight (go with the Chromium backend or with Webkit directly)
And the most important bit of all... It is named Qute-browser. And if you didn't know, the dev is running a kickstarter now, so go and help! Make yourself a favor

the commits page won't load for me.

What killed dwb (and I think others) is that the transition from WebKit1 to WebKit2 essentially meant a rewrite, and the devs didn't have the time for that. qutebrowser was in a similar situation with QtWebKit/QtWebEngine a year ago, but thanks to the first crowdfunding, I was able to work on that full time for two months, which made it possible to do that transition without taking years.
But yeah - going for 3.5 years now with no intentions of stopping.

jumanji, luakit and dwb are dead since years. surf lacks too much functionality IMHO. uzbl seems to rise from the ashes after months (years?) of inactivity now.

thanks for saving my wrists and battery.
Lucas Thompson
Any intention of porting Qutebrowser to C+=?

I was curious and looked in the archives for other threads

is there a nice place to share user scripts ? i would really like to see your user scripts and to share mine.
Jayden Butler
pastebin.

For things which are usable for other people too, there's misc/userscripts in the repo:
For real though bro, the only annoying thing left for me with this browser is the lack of tab completion in the download dialog. Ctrl-W to delete words(a bash thing afaik) would be very nice too.
Angel Cox
much cleaner code than mine, i think i will use these userscripts as templates from now on
You can add a binding to do something similar though:
:bind --mode=insert fake-key ;; fake-key
Ryder Lopez
I guess I was remembering the functionality wrong, I thought I was asking to be able to delete single words in filepaths. That would probably conflict with the actual usage. And yeah, I'll just let you keep on trucking with that laundry list you gave yourself.
