[ Edit - I think that I got it wrong the webkit changes are for the git master version not the 3.7.1 release ]

Trying out #vimb on #OpenBSD and it is the latest version 3.7.1 but I think the OpenBSD port vimb is using the wrong webkitgtk although I'm no expert ?? In the port it uses webkitgtk41 but their github page says to use webkitgtk60 and so features like tabopen do not work and it might be the reason webkit crashes when trying to open a youtube.com page ????

Any ports devs able to confirm ????

For folks who like #qutebrowser I'm also trying out #vimb and its pretty decent, similar philosophy. It likes to spawn windows, so tabbed window mode in #sway is pretty handy.

know what's cool?

#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.

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.
