Nyxt Is The Most Customizable Web Browser EVER DistroTube Nyxt is a keyboard-oriented, infinitely extensible web browser designed for power users. Conceptually inspired by Emacs and Vim, it is fully configurable in Lisp. Nyxt allows you to customize all functionality. Every single class, method, and function is overwritable and reconfigurable. You'll find that you are able to engineer Nyxt's behavior to suit almost any workflow. - https://nyxt.atlas.engineer/

This reminds me of the time I was using i3-gaps.
I wanted to make a browser setup using Surf that was literally just the website and the only Surf UI would show up when I wanted to change website
I didn't succeed at that
But this browser makes me want to try it on this now... Hopefully you can remove the bar at the bottom and still use the key binds to bring up the command box

I mean it-s just 2.0 , doesn-t have a huge userbase but looking forward to see how it develops.
the webrendering engine actually could maybe be interesting for emacs right? It already has a Common Lisp lib, maybe that could be enhanced. not being dependent on a specific engine and maybe somewhen being able to fit webextensions in would do great for emacs I guess.

reply

one note even tho they dont depend on a webengine you probably are not able to use gecko(firefox) or blink(chromium) because those webengines are deeply baked into their corrosponding browsers. chromium has something called content api what you could use but that also would include a lot of bloat, because you are essentially embedding a near full chromium browser.

I highly doubt id be able to get by with no tabs and only buffers. Definitely not something I-m comfortable with. I have become pretty reliant on loads of features within the chromium style Browsers. I wish something like this appealed to me more but i think it-s too niche for my own taste ill just stick with brave. Also need the bookmark bar!
reply

the nyxt package is not the AUR package for the browser any more, the package is call nyxt-browser, i was also must about to say that DT made this video before 2020-01-05, but in the video you can see it is the new office, so DT forgot to read the comments here

I really wanted this to be good, I currently find it slow and the vim keybinding is very bad imho.
original text below see comments for explanation
but it just isn't, its slow (probably cause lack of threading in elisp) and the vi bindings are very bad

reply

I think this has huge potential, but those keybindings are wack! I use Vimium in FF and Chromium, and like to have everything under single key presses. My DWM already uses both Win and Alt keys and pressing Ctrl with everything is just annoying....

I have just installed this with the help of nix package manager (debian 10 doesn't have this in repos).
But other than built in help screens it doesn't work. Can't even load duckduckgo :( White screen everywhere :/

I look for new tools to enrich my experience, not to compromise it. I see no use case to use this tool and I am a web developer.
These browsers made sense when dialup were a thing. We live in a gigabit world now.

reply

Just WHY? Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should. Lisp is horrible, brackets, recusion abound. Yuck.. I have yet to find someone who actually enjoys coding in Lisp.
