As a vimperator user still on 52 ESR, this sounds great but any serious browsing requires me to use my add-ons, umatrix, ublock origin etc. Do we extensions work on this?

Actually on second thoughts extensions probably don't have a relationship with layout engine but with browser GUI so maybe no.

No WebExtension support, and unless Qt implements support for them, I'm not sure that'll change: https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/issues/30

However, there's a built-in adblocker (which only blacklists hosts right now), and there are plans for something like uMatrix: https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/issues/28
