It runs on Python and Qt, offering a minimal graphical interface where most navigation and commands are executed via keyboard shortcuts rather than mouse clicks. The browser is free software licensed under GPL-3.0-or-later and draws inspiration from earlier keyboard-focused projects like dwb and Vimperator.\n\nThe package depends on jinja2 and PyYAML for configuration and templating, and requires substantial Qt infrastructure (QtCore, QtQuick, QtSQL, QtDBus, QtOpenGL, and either QtWebEngine or QtWebKit as the rendering backend). Installation involves resolving these compiled dependencies, which creates high friction on systems without pre-built binaries. The project maintains active development with recent releases and supports Python 3.9 through 3.13.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are a keyboard-focused developer or power user willing to manage Qt dependencies. The active maintenance, zero known vulnerabilities, and GPL license make it a solid choice for personal use. No, if you need a browser that works out-of-the-box on systems without pre-installed Qt libraries or if you require proprietary redistribution rights."},"id":"qutebrowser","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/qutebrowser","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/qutebrowser.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/qutebrowser/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-04-03","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"copyleft","name":"qutebrowser","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"A keyboard-driven, vim-like browser based on Python and Qt."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":87782,"position":13770,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"3.7.0"}
