       | This part is cool:

       | Does this browser have anything do to with Next? The logo seems
       | similar.

         | 1. It just has bad KHTML forks for the engine. What about Gecko
         | and Presto and Trident all the other fine renderers?
         | 
         | 2. I don't know what kind of lisp they're using (probably
         | Common Lisp), anyway it's not my favourite kind.

       | That looks like someone bundled a prepacked browser-like starter-
       | package using Emacs compiled with GTK-widgets (WebView) with Helm
       | and some other niceties like the status-bar.
       | 
       | It even uses the same terminology with words like "buffers"
       | instead of tabs.
       | 
       | Is this actually an Emacs-based browser being shipped to the
       | masses?

         | Qutebrowser also has link hints as a standard built-in feature.
