Qutebrowser: A keyboard-driven, Vim-like browser
See https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/issues/8389 - unfortunately there's a lot of stupid false-positives especially with PyInstaller (packaging a Python application into an .exe). Happens a few times a year, unfortunately there isn't much I can do other than submitting a report to Microsoft and hoping they'll react ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Nyxt: The Hacker's Browser
As someone who used Qute for a long time:
* Python is much slower than CL (yes, even if rendering is done by Blink)
* Bookmarks are pure crap, they don't have tags nor directories to sort them better
* Less hackable (something that should be possible in Nyxt: https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/issues/3933)
* Massive gaps: https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/issues/2328 https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/issues/2492 https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/issues/5731 (!!!)
* Per domain/URL settings never progressed further than the initial batch of properties: https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/issues/3636
* Adblocking is better than hostfile but still missing a lot compared to uBlock (https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/issues/6480). No script like uBlock "advanced mode" at all.
My impression is that it has been stuck in bug fixing/dependency churn for a long time now. Switched to Firefox while waiting for Nyxt to be usable (apparently, Nyxt 4 will be it).
