Hello Linux Geeksters. As you may know, Xombrero is an open-source, lightweight, minimalist, web browser, developed in GTK+3 and based on the Webkit engine. It has been designed for the users that prefer command-line interface over the GUI and has a command mode similar to the one in VIm, for tab switching, entering URLs, following links and navigate through the browser history.
Also, the users can choose the browser’s default search engine. The latest version available is Xombrero 1.6.4, which has been released a while ago.
