I'm really interested in trying qutebrowser, but I've had so many issues with near-constant breakage in python projects. Are there no similar projects in statically typed languages, or maybe compiled?

Also qutebrowser's less powerful adblock, and missing a few other plugins I rely heavily upon...




FWIW I use qutebrowser on macOS (homebrew), alpine(postmarketos), Arch and Ubuntu and have never had an issue - installs cleanly via os package manager and just works (including wayland and x11). It’s under active development and the main devs seem pretty responsive to issues. It uses qtwebengine(chromium) - so none of the browser heavy lifting is in python. Don’t write it off due to the language used.
