Has any of you worked with luakit web browser? By any chance would you have built a nemesis (artix) version?
Comments on that browser would be quite appreciated.
Thanks.

It is primarily targeted at power users, developers and anyone who wants to have fine-grained control over their web browser’s behaviour and interface.
if that's you and you don't care that's it's not much smaller than any other browser, it's for you.

I am starting to work with raspbery pi and arduino. Luakit was said to be a light browser compared to others. I wondered if it could come with some basic features as it does not seem so user friendly. Maybe I would be better with palemoon and netsurf.
Thanks.
