qutebrowser (pronounced "cute browser" /kjuːtbraʊzər/[citation needed]) is a web browser for Linux, Windows, and macOS operating systems with Vim-style key bindings and a minimal GUI.[8] It is keyboard-driven and is inspired by similar software such as Vimperator and dwb.[9] It uses DuckDuckGo as the default search engine. qutebrowser is included in the native repositories of Linux distributions such as Fedora and Arch Linux.[10] qutebrowser is developed by Florian Bruhin, for which he received a CH Open Source award in 2016.[1]

Functionality[]

As in Vim and vi, the browser has a command mode and an insert mode. In command mode key bindings can be used to perform functions, for example: 'G' to go to the bottom of a page, and 'gg' to the top. Specific commands can also be bound to keys or key-sequences by the user. A cheat sheet of all key bindings can be found here and they can be trained here.

Security[]

In July 2018, it was found that all versions of qutebrowser prior to 1.4.1 have a cross-site request forgery vulnerability that allowed websites to change qutebrowser settings and, via settings like editor.command, possibly execute arbitrary code.[11] This was fixed in version 1.4.1; backported patches are available for prior versions.[12]
