From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Qutebrowser has great, sensible defaults with no telemetry. 😊
Can confirm, I only configured some visual changes, font, minimal font size and alike.
Only problem I have with it is, an increasing number of webpages tell me, my browser is outdated and rarely some pages don't work correctly.
I am thinking of moving to Epiphany (gnome-web) some day, but I may start missing the vim-like interaction with qutebrowser.
Have you updated Qutebrowser recently? It was running a pretty ancient version of Chromium under the hood before the 3.0 release (2 weeks ago), but it’s up-to-date now.
Thx for the reminder; I need to do that update.
There's a WebKitGTK-based web browser called Luakit. Pretty good from my experience, although webkit can be problematic at times.
you might be able to fix webpages telling you you're outdated by changing your useragent string.
