Description

Vimb is a nimble and efficient web browser inspired by Vim, utilizing the WebKit engine and GTK toolkit to enhance user experience. Emulating the modal nature of the beloved Vim editor, Vimb allows for easy real-time customization to suit individual preferences. Designed primarily for keyboard navigation, it minimizes distractions, enabling users to focus on their tasks. Those who are accustomed to Vim or have prior experience with pentadactyl will find Vimb to be intuitive and user-friendly; however, those unfamiliar may find it challenging. Vimb offers a range of features, including the ability to visualize certain runtime settings and manage website access to the notification API. Its keybindings, reminiscent of Vim, can be customized for various browser modes, making it a versatile option for users. The browser supports nearly all configurations to be modified on-the-fly using Vim-like syntax, streamlining the user experience. Additionally, it maintains a history of executed commands, search queries, and visited URLs, ensuring easy access to past actions. Vimb also provides autocompletions for commands, bookmarked URLs, setting variable names, and search queries, enhancing efficiency. Furthermore, it includes hinting to highlight links, form fields, and other interactive elements, making navigation seamless. SSL validation is performed against the CA certificate file, ensuring secure connections, and users can create personalized URL shortcuts for convenience. Ultimately, Vimb stands out as a unique tool for those who appreciate a keyboard-centric browsing experience.

Description

Surf is a lightweight web browser built on the WebKit2/GTK+ framework, enabling users to view websites and navigate links seamlessly. It supports the XEmbed protocol, allowing for integration within other applications, and users can easily direct surf to different URIs by adjusting its settings. Navigation is intuitive, facilitated by simply clicking on links or pressing Ctrl-g to enter a new web address. While you can compile your own version of WebKit, the packaging process is notoriously complex. By default, surf utilizes the stable upstream version of WebKit2GTK, although a branch based on the older WebKit1GTK is still accessible. The development of surf is ongoing, and users can explore its source code repository or obtain a copy using straightforward commands. Though adblocking can be a complex endeavor, there are straightforward workarounds available. For instance, the gethostszero file can be repurposed to create the necessary /etc/hosts file, and setting up a cronjob can automate the file updates and the execution of hosts-gen. This makes it easier for users to maintain their browsing experience without unwanted distractions.
