Pros:

Light on show machine, the best browser that I found for me for a hardware like Raspberry Pi.

Keybinding like in Vim.

Debian/Ubuntu in package manager - without external PPA you can just apt install luakit.

Looks like for me it usable daily browser.

Cons:

Sometimes Luakit do not render buttons and checkboxes. Asked.

Sometimes I cannot use Google Calendar.

Cannot edit Google Spreadsheet.

No YouTube (gstreamer was installed, maybe this is fixamle).

No web notifications (for example from Gmail, Google Calendar).

No input autocompletion (email, passwords).

Do not sync history, bookmarks (like Chrome, Firefox), but you can put this files under Git or Dropbox.

Devtools without dark theme.
