We have tracked the following product recommendations or mentions on various public social media platforms and blogs. They can help you see what people think about Nyxt Browser and what they use it for.
  • Vimium – The Hacker's Browser
    Nyxt[1] caters to emacs people (being extensible in Lisp and all that), but personally I'm somewhat wary of it: They handled a critical security vulnerability[2] quite badly a few years ago, and the project seems to get more and more commercialized. Webmacs[3] used to be around for a while, but is pretty dead nowadays. I know of various emacs users who use qutebrowser, and its keybindings/configurations are... - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago
  • Vimium – The Hacker's Browser
    You can extend Qutebrowser with userscripts [1]. For the Lisp fans, Nyxt [2] is a decent choice as well. [1] https://qutebrowser.org/doc/userscripts.html [2] https://nyxt.atlas.engineer/. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago
  • Luakit: A fast, extensible, and customizable web browser
    I'm not really into Lua so I prefer Nyxt, but it's nice that both exist. https://nyxt.atlas.engineer/. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago
  • Embracing Common Lisp in the Modern World
    It's not quite a match to what you're looking for, but I think Nyxt's long-term plan is to build something similar (essentially, be a Common Lisp environment for a browser window in the same way that Emacs is an lisp environment for a text editor). https://nyxt.atlas.engineer/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

  • Rusty revenant Servo returns to render once more
    For innovative new browsers, there's Nyxt: https://nyxt.atlas.engineer/ Both are looking for funding and sponsors. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
  • Web Environment Integrity API
    I am not a hopeful romantic, but the EU has been investing on vendor neutral web-browsers like Nyxt [0] and the UR Browser [1] through the Horizon Europe program. I doubt that legislators (at least in the EU) will view this as a positive development, assuming EU legislators know what they are doing. On the other hand, lobbying by big tech is still very much a threat. [0] https://nyxt.atlas.engineer/ [1]... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago
  • using keyboard
    There are some keyboard centered browsers like Qutebrowser or Nyxt. For Firefox as well as for Chrome based browsers there exist several extensions to implement vim-like keybindings. Source: almost 2 years ago

  • Lisp and cybersecurity !
    After I learn common lisp some more the first project I want to do is extend nyxt browser for web security testing, extending it to provide some mitmproxy features like request searching, editing, fuzzing, etc functionality that can be closely integrated with the browser in a way separate mitm proxies like burpsuite aren't. Nyxt let's you hook and extend everything about the browser, access pages dom and inject... Source: about 2 years ago

  • Behold the Modern Day Lisp Machine! (.. er, about as close as it gets)
    Have you checked out Nyxt browser? Built, configurable and extendable with Common Lisp (web engine agnostic, currently supports WebKit and WebEngine (Blink) as a renderer) Https://nyxt.atlas.engineer/. Source: about 2 years ago
  • Tell HN: Firefox Is an awesome browser right now
    Chrome also has objectively better performance (https://www.phoronix.com/news/Firefox-Chrome-109-Benchmarks), especially for 3D performance. I'm sure on modern machines both browsers are more than fast enough, but I'm not quite sure why everyone seems to think firefox is faster. On the other hand, I feel like the nyxt browser (https://nyxt.atlas.engineer) has a spot on HN, its very much like emacs in the sense... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
  • emacs has ruined my navigation in other apps
    For browsers there's also nyxt. But I have not used it in a long while. Source: over 2 years ago
  • Lex Fridman - after years of Emacs switched to VScode
    There is one program I know of which does provide sufficient ability to modify its keybinds and behavior at runtime, call functions, modify them, etc, it is even self-documenting (albeit with limitations if you want a nice display, as the documentation is still WIP): Nyxt. It's even possible to get it talking with Emacs through SWANK. Source: over 2 years ago

  • Is this a good way to describe Emacs?
    Also, Emacs Lisp is far from the only lisp out there and many other dialects can do way more. For example, Common Lisp can hook into external C libraries and puppeteer them into its own object model. For an extreme example, check out the Nyxt web browser. Source: almost 3 years ago
