As I have mentioned before, I love VIM, therefore I like making everything look and act like it. I ditched Chrome, going back to Firefox just so I could run Vimperator and have the browser's entire GUI go away - tabs and everything. But I'm always a bit nervous about Firefox releasing updates that break Vimperator and other plugins. So periodically I'll poke around and see what my options are.

I've tried Vimb but so far have been unable to get it to install - make whines about a missing req - I read up on it, try the various solutions people suggest... SPLAT same error.

In the past I've seen Qutebrowser mentioned in threads etc and I believe at one point I tried installing it. Apparently I didn't try very hard. I just got it installed and running. First impression: YES!

Changing settings are nice and painless, and inherantly persistant. This is really nice, even though it isn't very VIM-ish. In this regard Vimperator is much more 'in the spirit' but whatever, I'm lazy, I'll take it! Nearly everything is pretty straightforward for the VIM/Vimperator user. It did take me a bit to figure out how to open new tabs. It looked like :tab-clone was the only option. Thanks to IRC I found out you can to :open -t and leave the URL off.
Tab switching is different in QB, good old gt command is there, but it doesn't simply cycle through or go to the number you may have entered before entering gt, it requests a tab number from you, displaying your options. This is not a problem once you realize T will cycle forward through the tabs.

So far the only thing I DO miss from Vimperator is the bookmarking. Bookmarks were more powerful in Vimperator (From what I know so far and have seen in the docs). But no matter, I need to have my bookmarks synced anyway so I'll probably continue to use FF for my bookmarks.

Qutebrowser is amazing so far!
