Free lightweight web browsers that may speed up your web navigation
Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Safari, Microsoft Edge, these are probably browsers the majority of you use. Indeed, these browsers are probably the best ones on the market right now, we can’t argue with that. However, as the industry is massive, there are a lot of lightweight, fast and minimal lesser-known options, that some users might consider using.
The best browsers and extensions to let you navigate the web without touching the mouse

So, this list is for people who cannot use a mouse, or who wish to use the keyboard as much as possible. I'll show you some web browsers and extensions that will allow you to browse the web without having to touch your mouse or trackpad. 🕹

Comments and Reviews
Developed by a guy in Switzerland. While it will work like a standard browser in some ways, you can tell it is not geared for the average user. You can still use a standard keyboard and mouse aside from its unique keyboard capabilities, but the interface is very minimal.. no extensions. Getting to settings, bookmarks, cookies, etc is shrouded in mystery, but there are commands to get there for "the initiated".
Settings: open url qute:settings. Also I think there's a link to settings somewhere on the :help page (I could be wrong).
Low fuss, configurable, keyboard first.
Can be made portable by the "--basedir" command line parameter (ex. --basedir directory in shortcut).
Requires Win8+, but Win8+ is bullshit.
It's keyboard-based. For a keyboard-driven person. For those who use Vim, Emacs.
The built in ad block doesn't seem to block youtube ads anymore, but it's still a lightweight and intuitive browser
Keyboard focused thus improving productivity for touch typist, well integrated to my workflow
Amazing browser with vi-like keyboard shortcuts. Hint: use the updated version from git to avoid some annoiances like lack of support for client pfx certificates on olders versions.
