The best thing about Qutebrowser is that it's not only standalone but also it's 100% controllable via keyboard.

This is simply not possible with other browsers where the UI outside the actual website was only designed with a mouse cursor in mind. And that contradicts the idea of not constantly needing to switch to the mouse and back.

I agree, but I don't really use Tridactyl to replace the mouse - I use it for operations that would otherwise not be easy or possible (e.g. `b` and `B` to search through the titles of open tabs) or a favourite of mine, cloning a repository from Git{Hub,Lab} and opening a terminal in that folder.

Some of this lack of concern for using the cursor is probably because all of the keyboards I use have trackpoints.
