So I try to find a browser that will fit into i3 naturally. Yesterday I found (see link:[Surf](http://surf.suckless.org/). But it lacks any documentation besides the manpage. Heck, I yet do not know how to proper exit it! So I wonder, what are you using? Tabbed browsers? Something I missed? I hope so!Thu, 16 Aug 2012 20:10:49 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/349/choosing-a-proper-webbrowser/Answer by Michael for <p>Howdy,</p> <p>i3 is one of the best experiences I ever had using Linux. </p> <p>So I try to find a browser that will fit into i3 naturally.

I was using Firefox before (with Vimperator), but Firefox lost me because it was a lot slower than Chrome (especially its GUI under load).Thu, 16 Aug 2012 20:22:24 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/349/choosing-a-proper-webbrowser/?answer=350#post-id-350Comment by lzap for <p>I’m using Chrome.

Really fast. I wonder why it wastes space in Linux (tabs are not on the same level as these _oX buttons, but it works nice.Sun, 26 Aug 2012 14:52:24 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/349/choosing-a-proper-webbrowser/?comment=370#comment-370Answer by loblik for <p>Howdy,</p> <p>i3 is one of the best experiences I ever had using Linux. </p> <p>So I try to find a browser that will fit into i3 naturally.

It is webkit-based, really fast and lightweight, very extensible, usable out of box and it has clean design. If you don't need firefox extensions (vimperator/pentadactyl, conkeror) I recommend you to give it a try. And there are some others I've tried. - conkeror - firefox-based, emacs bindings (i'm more into vim) - dwb - a lot of funcionality by default but not so stable - vimprobable - i guess it's not usable yet - jumanji - can't remember but i heard people like it - uzbl - more like toolkit than browser - xombrero - promising, focused on security but less stuff implemented by now Fri, 17 Aug 2012 09:06:59 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/349/choosing-a-proper-webbrowser/?answer=351#post-id-351
