If you don't mind minimal stuff (i.e., a browser that just browse the WWW and downloads files on request), then surf+tabbed is a very good and stable solution. Here are the links: http://surf.suckless.org/ http://tools.suckless.org/tabbed/ The setup is extremely simple. You just "apt-get install tabbed surf" and bind your preferred keystroke or menu entry to: "tabbed surf -g -e" and you are done. Well, you still need a good "man tabbed" and "man surf" to get things done... > And speaking of bookmarks, each browser seems to jealously hang on to > its bookmarks, unless perhaps another browser manages to sneak in like > a thief and import them.

I wrote a simple 20-line shell script which copy/pastes from/to the content of the current X clipboard and sets/gets bookmarks to/from a simple file in the form: http://suckless.org/ | suckless.org http://www.devuan.org | devuan website homepage ..... with obvious meaning. The script is bound to a keystroke to search for a bookmark (using dmenu) or launched with any "run-thing" (or a shell) to create a new bookmark and associate tags to it. It works for cavemen like me, but do not expect any eyecandy ;) If you think you might like it, just shout and I will put the script somewhere.
