A COUNTRY HAS THE JEWS IT DESERVES. JUST AS MOSQUITOES CAN THRIVE AND SETTLE ONLY IN SWAMPS, LIKEWISE THE FORMER CAN ONLY THRIVE IN THE SWAMPS OF OUR SINS.-CODREANU CORNELIU ZELEA
I used to use qutebrowser, but I switched to palemoon so that I could get uMatrix (the most important web extension) and uBlock for its "element picker". Last I used qutebrowser, it had similar functionality to all of that, but no graphical elements to use any of it intuitively. Palemoon also has one of those "vim-like" extensions called "Pentadactyl" which hasn't satisfactorily been ported to any later web browsers, so that's a win too.
Qutebrowser's interface is much superior to Pentadactyl though, so if it ever develops a graphical interface around the ability to just browse the web safely, I'd switch back in a heartbeat. Both qutebrowser and palemoon support NPAPI (web browser plugins, including Flash, .mng support, .midi playback etc.), so that's a win.

Made my definitive switch to Palemoon. Pentadactyl is still kind of abject shit as I mentioned earlier, but I had the sudden revalation that I don't actually have to use that addon at all. I've been getting by just fine without vim-style browsing after all, and this beats Chrome or modern Firefox.

[quote=FrogOfTheDay@7440:7544]Currently use firefox but looking into librewolf, anybody know of any downsides?[/quote]
Only real downside is potentially slower updates, otherwise it's basically stock Firefox with some customizations
Librewolf by default does screw up certain sites. Some graphics magic isn't supported, like noclip.website or displaying the unread messages icon for discord.
