Conkeror is a browser that uses XULRunner and is a highly configurable and programmable browser.
Here is the description of the browser from the homepage:
Conkeror is a keyboard-oriented, highly-customizable, highly-extensible web browser based on Mozilla XULRunner, written mainly in JavaScript, and inspired by exceptional software such as Emacs and vi. Conkeror features a sophisticated keyboard system, allowing users to run commands and interact with content in powerful and novel ways. It is self-documenting, featuring a powerful interactive help system.
On the initial launch, Conkeror performs the following steps:
- The core Conkeror modules are loaded.
- Any special command-line arguments are processed.
- Optional Conkeror modules are loaded, as described on the Modules page.
- The ConkerorRC file or directory, as specified by the conkeror.rcfile string preference, is loaded, unless the -q special command-line option was given.
- Any normal command-line arguments are processed.
- If the default action was not suppressed by one of the normal command-line arguments, the URI specified by the string-valued homepage variable (this is a variable, not a Mozilla preference) is loaded as if it were specified as a URI on the command line.
Do download this browser and try this out.. Its great experience…
