Keyboard driven browsers & plugins - tbuck153 - 11-07-2013

Lately I've been using dwb for most of my browsing but there are a few times when I need dat firefox. I'd like to make the full switch for the sake of usuability and speed. I've tried the vimperator plugin and found it to break a few things and makes certain things function a little awkwardly not to mention I like the keybindings for dwb.

I'm wondering what y'all use? I know there are different plugins/browsers besides vimperator and dwb so I'm looking for some opinions :)

I have been using dwb for awhile now and I use firefox only for youtube (and other flash stuff) since I'm too lazy to setup flash for dwb.

I really like the interface and keybindings of dwb. :)

I use icecat for casual browsing because I like the plugins.
If I don't want to start the monster I simply use midori. Midori is fast lightweight, and has some extensions. Namely, an adblocker, a cookie manager, keyboard shortcuts, userstyles, etc..
I can use Mozilla's plugins. ex: flash.

The thread title is a liiiitle misleading, but, I use Xombrero, it's awesome.

Oh wow... totally meant to say "Keyboard driven..." derp. fixed.

Firefox with Vimperator is what floats my boat. I've tried luakit for a while, and I liked it. Except that it wasn't nearly stable enough to be my default browser, it just crashed too frequently, and without a session restore feature, that's just deadly.

Also, I'm a Gecko fanboy, I think it has the nicest rendering.

I'm another xombrero user.
Set it up to use the minimal interface and you won't use your mouse much.


RE: Keyboard driven browsers & plugins - yrmt - 11-07-2013

Xombrero is what I like :)


RE: Keyboard driven browsers & plugins - berk - 11-07-2013

I use Firefox with VimFx.


RE: Keyboard driven browsers & plugins - kopri - 11-07-2013

I love Xombrero, but I mostly use Firefox with Vimperator.


RE: Keyboard driven browsers & plugins - Mafia - 12-07-2013

FF and xxxterm(Yeah that's right, I don't say Xombrero".


RE: Keyboard driven browsers & plugins - zygotb - 12-07-2013


I can't install xombrero by typing xxxterm... :s

I tried firefox-nightly today.
What can I say, it's bleeding edge and renders the images beautifully .
