#VIMB

know what else is cool? I guess this is "Fedora's thing", in a way. You cam prob do w/ Arch as well.

The focus point is "--skip-unavailable".

..moving on.

I am so sorry if it failed to excite you! Nope, not your fault. :)

After a search in the NetBSD packages for lightweight web browsers, the winners are: vimb, dillo, luakit and netsurf.

Dillo's new release 3.1.0 still hasn't landed, so no HTTPS there. Luakit is very neat, extremely lightweight, minimal, has vim-like bindings and would be perfect if it weren't for the constant white flashing between each pageload when using a custom, darker CSS. NetSurf is also quite neat, with tab support for heavier sessions.

The winner for me is vimb, which although leaving tabs to the window manager, has vim-like bindings, is pretty minimal and does not cause flashing when switching between pages on a custom darker CSS setting.

Honor mention to Arctic Fox, a Pale Moon clone that hits peak nostalgia with the pre-omnibar Firefox look. No theming, not as lightweight, but going strong at 29.5k commits since 2018.

Showing off...my browsers are heavily tweaked and minimalist and I do lots of unknown stuff, IOW do not use popular things too much

It's mine, right? :)

The Luakit version in the Debian Bookworm repo seems a lot more usable than the one I used with Debian Bullseye? Very cool!

Would be even cooler if I could use vimb on Debian, but can't get it compiled.

#luakit #webbrowser #vimb

I've been trying the #vimb #browser today. I like it so far. Clean and simple, has vi-inspired keybindings, fully documented in a carefully-written man page.

I'd been meaning to try out one of these lightweight nerdy browsers (surf, luakit, qutebrowser, vimb) but what pushed me to finally go ahead and do it was a strange and annoying bug that seems to mostly only happen when Firefox is running in the background: https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-bugs&m=168704488627364&w=2

As much as I am loathe to enable the #Blink #hegemony of the #web, I gotta say that #qutebrowser is pretty dadgum fly.

I don't use it all the time, but when I want to do some tasks with the web and other purely keyboard-oriented things, it's just fantastic.

I like #luakit and #vimb as well, but typing something like fkhj is so much easer than f239 (to follow links / activate form fields).

I just wish there was a way to make it emulate a mouse hover.

Looking to contact the dev of this project, but I can't find an email anywhere? #vimb #webkitgtk
