Not having some proprietary debugger thing for this to work with when you can just set location in about:config seems like the pettiest nitpick

If wanting a browser to be just a browser is petty, then I am the pettiest. If you havent tried qutebrowser yet, give it a shot. When I say just a browser, this hits it pretty close, if you ask me.

Vim mode is pretty neat. It seems like the whole app is kind of just like a python gui app wrapper around webkit? Looks like it would be pretty good if I was using linux and a tiling wm as my main thing but these days I'm pretty bound to Windows for the type of development I'm working on.
Most of my linux desktop usage these days is stuff like writing scrapers in cloud containers that need a real browser that I can control using selenium or puppeteer or whatever though, is it supporting anything like that? If this works on Windows too that would be a bonus.

I don't know if it supports that type of workflow yet, but I hope something fills that void soon. It's a very real need with a clearly defined utility.

> still taking the google allowance,
Doesn't Mozilla's revenue breakdown still show Google as the majority of their revenue, and pocket et al are efforts to diversify?

But, what will you go to? Chrome is worse by any metric.

There’s always Edge if you want Chrome without the Google and want some closed source bits (for streaming or whatever).

Epiphany (aka Gnome Web) works pretty well on 99% of websites for me

Allo? I think you confused this with something else if you're referring to Google Allo chat app.
I won't be going to anything chrome-like, but I do see myself spending a lot more time using and sponsoring qutebrowser, or simply passively consuming offline.
