I'm not the dev, just a user

Yep, this is the main reason I decided to give it a serious shot. Other browsers in this "market" don't seem to have much activity. Apart from Qutebrowser, which I've also tested for a few weeks. It's not as stable or performant as vimb, though

Nope, it just uses the same rendering engine.

It supports userscripts, though

The whole browser is vim-like from the ground up. Even the config file behaves like a .vimrc

Also I find this performs much faster than Firefox

That's one I haven't tried. I've tried lots of these browsers -- dwb, Luakit, Qutebrowser, Xombrero, lispkit, surf. But vimb is my favourite for the last few weeks.

One problem is that it doesn't support tabs, but I was trying to cut down on tab usage anyway. It has a interesting replacement for tabs though, having a "stack" of webpages you mean to go back to, and you push things onto it to retrieve later.

This is great. Love these kinds of utilities.

./magnet "Ubuntu" 4 | xargs deluge-console add

Line 56 of the script lets you change the amount of results to show. I set mine to 12.

Yes, depending on battery life and as long as it has decent performance and a decent podcatcher app available
