I use use #palemoon, in big part because it can run #pentadactyl which makes the whole browser vi.

And it's programmable. This is a recent ad-hoc Ex command I did to move all scattered tabs of a video website to the start:

command! -nargs 0 tubemv javascript for (let t of tabs.match("tube.tchncs.de")) tabs.move(t, 0)

Many other great addons from XUL Firefox still work, e.g. eMatrix.

Disadvantages: Slow, web compatibility, Penta XPI from source.

The more I use Pentadactyl on Basilisk, the more I love it. Don't think I'll be able to go back to normal web browsing ever again #vim #basilisk #pentadactyl

I do think the extension needs more love though?

The keyboard driven Browser Wars continue..

Today I discovered an addon called Pentadactyl, which is an old FF addon that works with the Basilisk Browser.
This might be what I was looking for!
I love vimb, but the WebKit engine it uses crashes quite a bit, and each tab is a new process. However, Basilisk uses one process and uses a lot less memory, and rarely crashes. #Basilisk #Pentadactyl

@dnsprincess I loved #Firefox + #Vimperator / #Pentadactyl, back in the day, when they had better extension support.

I recently found #luakit and qutebrowser which scratch the itch of highly customizable hotkeys.

I've noticed #qutebrowser on Ubuntu 22.04 is much worse than 20.04 for battery life, I think due to the enhanced Qt5 features newer libraries allow by default.

I plan to explore luakit to see how it compares, but only recently learned of it.
