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.
qutebrowser is both written in and configured in Python. Through the configuration file custom functionality can be added, including custom key bindings, per-site settings, and arbitrary Python code that can interact with your browser or your system.
Since version 2.0.0, qutebrowser supports blocking ads using the python adblock library. For users that don't have the adblock library installed or use an older version of qutebrowser, a simpler built-in adblocker can be used and modified using the blocked-hosts file that comes with qutebrowser.
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. This was fixed in version 1.4.1; backportedpatches are available for prior versions.
Supported platforms
Qutebrowser runs on Windows 10 x64 (build 1809 or later), MacOS 12 or later, and Linux.
