Re: choices for reliable, secure browser for fedora 27 and beyond?

[Timothée Floure]

Hello,

If you're looking for a simple and "fast" browser, I would encourage you
to take a look at qutebrowser [0]. It should be "fast enough" for you
since it uses the same backend as chromium.

"A keyboard-driven, vim-like browser based on PyQt5 and QtWebEngine"

It's packaged in Fedora :-) [1]
