What does qutebrowser do? Is it chome/firefox or something other than those two based?

Also fantastic desktop. Looks great.

Chromium was forked from WebKit but it isn't the same thing. Chromium is Blink.

It would be like saying all browser are KHTML based lol.

Gecko is not KHTML but yes... chromium is blink, but it's still very similar to webkit, there is a reason for the way useragents and CSS selectors are the way they are.

Thank you! It's a Qt, chromium-based browser with keyboard-centric navigation. It's modal, like Vim, and with Vim-like key bindings, so you can keep your fingers on the keyboard and not have to switch to the mouse and back.

I've tried Tridactyl with librewolf, but it didn't feel as well-integrated. I would have to switch to default hotkeys for certain tabs.

Thanks. It took me a while, but the status bar icons and text are also conditional (using bash scripts with if/then statements and case statements). I also created separate picom animations for notifications and windows.

Nice screenshot, btw, what's this part in the right window, is it the window's scroller or anything else? I like it so much. see my attachment.

Thanks! That's the tab bar. The icons are minimized because of the window's size, but you can see the icons when the window is maximized. It also allows mouse scrolling.
