To dispel some misconceptions in the video. h264ify won't give you hardware accelerated video decoding, it's just H.264 decoding is somewhat less CPU intensive, compared to VP8/9. No browser on Linux have hardware accelerated video decoding (at least in upstream projects, read further). For Chromium there is patch to enable hardware accelerated video decoding via VAAPI but it's not and will never be upstreamed. Luckily some distros apply the patch (OpenSuse, Fedora, Arch added it quite recently) or there is community package with patch applied (Ubuntu PPA). So if you want hardware accelerated video decoding, your only choice is Chromium (using package with patch applied or patching it yourself). That said, h264ify will probably still be useful with acceleration enabled because wider range of devices support hardware acceleration for H.264 codec, VP8/9 is supported only by quite recent Intel CPUs.
I fell for the qutebrowser meme way back when luke made a video about it. Loved the key bindings but that was about it, had to drop it after a couple of weeks.
I dropped it within 4 days. The bad adblock got on my nerves. I went back to LibreWolf, never going back again unless Mozilla and the LibreWolf team both make massive oopsies.

I've been using qutebrowser for about 3 years and I couldn't agree with all of this more. I use mainline firefox on my desktop and main laptop for productivity now for these reasons but still use qutebrowser on my X220 and older linux boxes where I want to keep my home row keybindings and don't multitask with videos quite so much.
I really love qutebrowser. It is so quick to use. But there are two major things I miss: a proper password manager integration (without having the passwords in the qute://log) and my favourite Firefox extension "group speed dial" which increases my productivity in my professional context.
i dunno qutebrowser > * I don't have ANY of these concerns that this lists however, that could be this was years ago and they ironed out the bugs. I don't even have preroll youtube ads anymore in qutebrowser LOL I LOVE THIS THING. Also, with all the keybindings I literally feel like a god
Hm. First I was angry at you. Then hearing your points, I realized they're valid points so.... Yeah. Qutebrowser lacks in these features. But I just loved the nothing but keyboard and minimal look of it. So I'll stick to to it for a while. If it doesn't work out then I'll switch as well.
Firefox needs some kind of keybinding feature addon, I get to doing something now and want to do control+o to open a page and firefox just won't do it.
i tried qb but some of the keybindings make no sense. I'm used to vimium-ff :D ... you complained about qb during the entire video, then you say at the end it's not an attack on the qb project, love it!
Since you talked about hardware video acceleration, I'm guessing you moved to Chromium? VA-API patches got included in the main repository package recently, at least on Arch and Fedora.
Amazing browser, but the Mac experience leaves a lot to be desired unless you can figure out how to build the thing from source. The lack of an ability to easily import bookmarks or play back copyright-protected video is a pretty serious hindrance. And, unfortunately, even something like Firefox + Tridactyl isn't much of an alternative, unless you don't mind overheating your CPU.
What browser did you switch to? Privacy wise, I stick with firefox (modified settings in about:config and appropriate plugins). The vim plugin lets you control it mostly via keyboard vim bindings, which is pretty good. Qutebrowser serves all my locally hosted dashboards on a second screen because they aren't cluttered with annoying stuff. Oh, and please don't use Luke Smith's annoying 'zoomers' greeting (love Luke's videos, but it's annoying enough when he does it) ;)
I have a problem with using adblockers -- namely, why are you supporting websites/pages that you don't agree with their level of ads? Don't use the site, or close the video (that's what I do on youtube if an unskippable ad comes up, and it's what drove me away from facebook completely). Cheating the system doesn't actually improve anything overall (and your own experience being improved is a somewhat selfish goal). Basically you vote with your web browsing, for the sites you want others to make. I look at it the same way as cheating taxes... not terribly ethical. Just an alternate view on what I see as a non-issue for browsers (treating the symptoms, not the cause).
You might have a point if ads were the same as, say, TV commercials. That is simple, well-understood, one-way, audio/visual communications with fairly standard placements and timings. Online ads, OTOH, are part of the web of deceit and manipulation that makes up most online commerce and therefore an affront to anyone who values privacy. Until all the online players that participate in this cyber rape of my privacy rights clean up their act I'm not going to willingly contribute one damn cent to them and they can suck it and suck it hard as far as I'm concerned.
@@bmbiz TV commercials are also terrible... but either way, you're addicted to their platform, so they've got you regardless of whether or not you watch their ads :/
@@slinkeepy I'm not quite sure what you mean. I haven't watched an ad on TV in forever and I don't remember the last time I actually saw one on YT. Plus I don't use either of them all that much. ?-|
To force HTTPS everywhere, block ads and trackers efficiently, force youtube to H264, redirect RUclips links to invidio.us. Have you actually watched the video?
Qutebrowser lacking an efficient adblocker is almost a deal-breaker for many. It should really be put on high priority because I've had plenty of friends who've I've recommended it to stop using it for that reason. It's a really a great browser & it's a shame that's the one thing that holds it back (a lot). The way qutebrowser handles vim keybindings on a browser is really remarkable so if they got basic extensions working (particularly adblocking with uBlock) ... no other browser would be able to contend.
..just putting the Chinese ownership out there. There is an argument that a Chinese backdoor is preferable to a US one. I mean, who would you prefer to have your internet history on file?
@@linuxinside6188 I use Chromium myself. I'm still not sure how secure it is. I just assume that someone is watching everything I do online. That's the best way to approach your browsing and communications I think. Trust NO browser, NO website and NO isp.

Thanks, didn't know that
whar is the estate of video aceleration in navigators now days
I agree, modern web is so broken that browser without heavy-duty add blocker it's impossible to use.
These reasons are why i'm still on firefox.
Same here. I use either Brave or Firefox
I watched this video from qutebrowser with mpv to test my binding
I prefer mpv, you can still run it on the background and it's light weight
Isn't it very inconvenient to use compared to the regular web client.
It fixes the problem with qb's inability to block youtube ads too
I fell for the qutebrowser meme way back when luke made a video about it. Loved the key bindings but that was about it, had to drop it after a couple of weeks.
Me too!
Luke uses Brave now, mostly
I dropped it within 4 days. The bad adblock got on my nerves. I went back to LibreWolf, never going back again unless Mozilla and the LibreWolf team both make massive oopsies.
you can enable video acceleration :
qutebrowser --qt-flag ignore-gpu-blacklist --qt-flag enable-gp
u-rasterization --qt-flag enable-native-gpu-memory-buffers --q
t-flag num-raster-threads=4
:)
> too lazy to setup mpv
Okay.
I watch youtube vids with mpv and dont get adds so I am fine.
i watch youtube vids IN qutebrowser and don't get adds so I am fine.

Which of the issues are not solved as of today?
I'm watching this video on qutebrowser right now, and I feel none of the problems you are talking about. Then again, this video was posted a year ago.
what do you do to for ad and pop up blocking

Vimium-ff is nice to
and it has 'normal' easy to remember keybindings.

Maybe mpv and Pi-Hole would solve most of the problems

I use Firefox and RUclips eats 80% of cpu as well, solution, just pipe video url into mpv , with mvp it just uses 20-30% of cpu
Firefox needs some kind of keybinding feature addon, I get to doing something now and want to do control+o to open a page and firefox just won't do it.
I know I am quite late here but there are actually plenty to chose from: Tridactyl, Saka keys, vimium-ff, etc
