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
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
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
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

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
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

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.

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.

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

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
