While it might not replace Firefox as a general purpose browser (for me), it looks absolutely brilliant as an alternative to Gtk/QT for writing GUI applications - using a web front end that runs locally in a self-contained window.

Uzbl: a browser following the UNIX philosophy Posted Jul 20, 2009 15:07 UTC (Mon) by alex (subscriber, #1355) [Link] I wonder how it differs from Mozilla's Prism (rendering engine aside). It sounds like the two might accomplish similar goals.

Prism is a small step in that direction. You can turn off the menubars and make a webpage look like an app. But Prism doesn't play well with UNIX: from the command line, you can start it and stop it, not much else.
Uzbl sounds like you'll be able to do neat things: (haven't looked at it, but here's my imagination:) log your clickstream to STDOUT, filter URLs clicked on with a shell script (ad-block implemented in perl regexes), re-implement greasemonkey with "perl -pe 's/foo/bar/g'", etc.
As an aside: I can't use the web without Mozilla's keywords: "g foo" does a google search for foo, "w foo" does a wikipedia search, "imdb foo" does an IMDB lookup, "to foo" uses google maps to tell me how far a way a city is, etc.)

You might like 'surfraw'. It's sort of like Mozilla's keywords /
Konqeror's web shortcuts, only from the command line :)
Uzbl: a browser following the UNIX philosophy Posted Dec 15, 2011 22:28 UTC (Thu) by dashesy (subscriber, #74652) [Link] Duckduckgo (DDG) has many many !Bangs for all that keywords, !w for Wiki, !g for Google and \ if you are feeling lucky. If you have DDG in your search bar, you can do that in any browser.

For uzbl at least, I've gathered quite a few nifty shortcuts[1] (the most common as plain bindings, the less used ones with a leading '\').
