uzbl
Quoth Chad Perrin on Sunday, 07 November 2010: snip Also of interest, Chromium loads the page on the other side of that link in about 75% of the time it takes Firefox to load it, and uzbl loads it in about 33% of the time it takes Chromium to load it. It's more efficient to use the keyboard even to switch focused windows or to follow links in a browser (provided that the window manager and browser are equipped with usable shortcuts). Important point! But in reality you see keyboard support more and more left out for the GUI programs - allthough they COULD provide good keyboard support. WindowMaker (as a window manager) and Opera (as a web browser) are, in my experience, examples of how to combine good keyboard support with good mouse support. Vimperator and Vimium do much better jobs of combining those capabilities in my experience (for Firefox and Chromium, respectively). While uzbl does not do as good a job of combining those approaches, it does a good enough job at the keyboard-driven stuff that it is a very rare case when using the TrackPoint would make more sense -- and, when it does make more sense, uzbl's mouse-driven interface support works fine. snap -- Chad Perrin [ original content licensed OWL: http://owl.apotheon.org ] How do you start uzbl?
