There is a Qutebrowser user script for 1password: https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/blob/master/misc/userscripts/qute-1pass. Disclaimer: I am the original author (it’s been refactored a lot by mkonig since I originally wrote it).

Help using qutebrowser on a mac
Glad to hear! You'd either add it to the userscripts folder in the repo, or add a link to the README about it and host it elsewhere.
Proprietary codec support with alternative macOS/Linux PyQt packages has some patches to get qutebrowser to work with a Homebrew Qt install, which comes with proprietary codecs.

Qutebrowser seems to be deteriorating a bit
I did a first test run when the Beta was out, on March 17th.
Your first issue is due to webengine 6.5. See https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/issues/7662 . It's pretty annoying indeed, and unfortunately, issues relating to new Qt versions have been taking a while (or have always done so). One workaround is downgrading to webengine 6.4. The other is duplicating your current tab, as described over at GitHub.

Vieb 8.0.0: chromium 102, performance and security improvements, add source viewer, add readerview, better adblocking, support prompts (and block dialogs), custom useragents, bugfixes for: follow labels, composing keyboards, url encoding and much more
Extensions are hard, and the current implementation is as far as I can personally make them work, which is sadly not good enough. I'm considering dropping support altogether and implementing major ones into Vieb (such as some sort of darkreader). Extensions are such a daunting task that even implementing multiple extensions from scratch seems easier than trying to make all of them work as proper extensions, this is also the approach used for the new sourceviewer and reader view (both of which use package to render the views, but are still integrated into Vieb as if a native part of it). The current progress of making extensions work is tracked in this ticket: https://github.com/Jelmerro/Vieb/issues/130, but it's been stuck at basic extensions (such as dark reader) without GUI for a while, and even those fail to install occasionally for the most obscure and random reasons, it's just not very stable at all.
