qutebrowser (pronounced “cute browser”) is a web browser for the operating systems Linux, Windows, and macOS, with vim-style key bindings and a minimal graphical user interface (GUI).[8] It is keyboard-driven and is inspired by similar software such as Vimperator and dwb.[9] It is developed by Freya Bruhin.[1]
Qutebrowser is free and open-source software released under the GNU General Public License, and is included in the native repositories of Linux distributions such as Fedora and Arch Linux.[10]
Qutebrowser can use two layout or browser engines: QtWebEngine by default, or WebKit optionally instead. It uses DuckDuckGo as the default search engine.
