• Ask HN: Is there a web browser, that's just a browser?

  I’m thinking about giving Orion another try after discovering focus mode and realizing my liking for vertical tabs (Safari’s compact mode isn’t great for multiple tabs).

• Why Google and Apple act the way they do, working to snuff out the mobile web

  If Mozilla can't get into Mobile and Desktop PWAs maybe someone else in the Linux GUI space will. I sure hope so. I'm excited by https://qutebrowser.org/ It seems very user-driven but it's niche users which doesn't quite include me. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• I'm having a lot of trouble logging in to reddit with the terminal based browser lynx. How can I log in to reddit from the terminal?

• Gmail account security is insane

  I use qutebrowser[0] which is built on qtwebengine, which is based on Chromium but comes with the caveat that it will likely be blacklisted by Google since it does not follow upstream's release schedule.
