Is there finally going to be a new #conkeror? That would be so very exciting!

I used to use #conkeror without doubt the best web browser I ever used.

It emulated GNU #Emacs buffers and keystrokes etc.

Sadly, no more, since it ran on XUL runner which was abandoned by Mozilla many years ago 😞

@imsodin: Du erinnerst mich dran, dass ich viele Jahre lang meinen Firefox wirklich mit C-x C-c beenden konnte. Habe frΓΌher #Conkeror (http://conkeror.org/) benutzt und war auch bei dessen Entwicklung aktiv. Dessen UI war fΓΌr Emacs-User mit minimaler UmgewΓΆhnung bedienbar und auch damals massiv performanter als Emacs. >1000 Tabs waren kein Problem. #FlashBack

*) Nein, nicht den von KDE mit K und q, sondern den mit der Kastanie als Logo, den Mozilla leider zusammen mit #XULrunner gekillt hat.

I tried running Pale Moon last night to see if it could still run Conkeror... It didn't work 😭

@birnim @agngw I used evil-mode for quite a while and it was absolutely fantastic. I love how composable the text objects and commands are in vim. I had the same experience with Conkeror. There is just something great about typing ciw and the word getting removed, spaces around are kept, and you're in insert mode. Navigation is so smooth too!

But Emacs is just so wonderfully moldable. I can't move away from it. Also configured in Lisp! Can't do without Lisp either.

#emacs #vim #conkeror #lisp

@dnsprincess: #Chromium (i.e. not Chrome but its #FLOSS base) as my 1st browser and #qutebrowser by @the_compiler as my 2nd. And #TorBrowser.

Before #Mozilla killed a whole FLOSS ecosystem when they removed #XULRunner from Firefox, I mostly used #Conkeror.

On a text terminal I use #Links2 and #Lynx, sometimes even #w3m or #ELinks.

On low-end devices I use #Dillo and #Netsurf.

(On a side note: I also wrote an article about low-end web browsers β€” in German, though: https://www.linux-community.de/ausgaben/linuxuser/2016/02/abgespeckt/)

@freaktechnik: Ui, gestern gar nicht so realisiert, was das ist! Das ist ja lieb!

Nur leider ist #Firefox nimmer mein Produktivbrowser seit sie XUL rausgekickt haben und damit kiloweise darauf aufbauende FLOSS-Projekte wie #Conkeror getΓΆtet haben. Auch sonst hat #Mozilla IMHO viele πŸ’© Entscheidungen getroffen. Neustens "Experiences". πŸ™„ Benutze seither #Chromium (nicht Chrome). Wobei sich wenigstens die UI-Performance (zumindest als #TorBrowser). mittlerweile wieder deutlich gebessert hat.

Surfingkeys is fine.
But I miss #Conkeror (best browsing experience I had in my life).

umm. So how do I make multicolumn masto useable on #webmacs. I remember some #css hackery, but I got used to just scaling up the font in #conkeror to pop the current column to "whole browser".

I guess to be clear, usable for me means single column.

playing with #webmacs, now that #conkeror is on life support thanks to the mozilla upgrade treadmill. First annoying thing is that scaling up the font doesn't cause the masto column to sproing out. So I'm writing this with about two words on a line.
