Ny web browser that uses keybinding apart from uzbl

browsersoftware-rec

I have just found out about uzbl but for some reason it crashes with segmentation fault when I log into gmail (Arch). I don't have the time nor the knowledge of dealing with this segmentation fault so I have thought about using another browser of that type. Are there any?

Thanks.

There are quite a few:

Vimprobable - WebKit and Vim-like keybindings. Comes in two versions.
dwb - a tiling web browser developed by an Arch Linux user (again, WebKit)
Conkeror - if you prefer Emacs bindings
Surf - another suckless product...
xombrero - "a minimalist web browser with sophisticated security features designed-in" (from the linked wiki page)

Is there anything like this web browser in the debian/ubuntu repositories

I would suggest that uzbl is just the right ninja magic for this. It is a scriptable, console-controllable single-purpose browser. Being based on webkit, its rendering and javascript support is first class, but it follows the unix phylosophy of doing one thing and doing it well while allowing other programs to push data in and out.

There is a wrapper for it that adds support for a tab-like interface as well.

How to setup default browser

I'm assuming you want to change the default application opened for URLs
The easy way to change this is using gnome-control-center info and changing the default application.

Yes, the schema type is

x-scheme-handler/http=
x-scheme-handler/https=

each followed by the application.desktop you want to open http

Here is a sample mimeapps.list with chromium as the http app
