On: Nyxt: The Hacker's Browser

The AI plug is obligatory. They have to ride the hype train too.

This browser was around before AI was popular and when I used it, it was great. The only downside is the lack of ability to run extensions, like bitwarden.

Nyxt is supposed to be as extensible as Emacs and way more extensible than mainstream browsers that use WebExtensions. The lack of extensions is likely due to its miniscule market share.

It's because they are not implementing support for WebExtensions. Which is of course not that simple, but it's not because of lacking market share.

And it seems they are kinda have it on the list[1], by switching to chromium[2].

Somebody should use the extrnsibility to integrate it with blockchain then, to make even more cool.

(and more hot)

hahaha, you’re joking right? honestly I can’t tell over text

Not at all. A blockchain integration will go perfectly with the builtin AI.

Joking. But there is some truth in every joke...
