Ive been trying to get this to work on Ubuntu and it seems to not work. Has anyone tried Nyxt?

Currently only supports WebKit and Blink (experimental) as underlying browser renderers. The description of the browser starting with the words "Nyxt is a browser with deeply integrated AI [...]" is a turn-off for me. If it is for powerusers, call it what it is. It could be a LLM or some algorithm, idk.

I may check it in a year. For now, for Blink (Chromium) engine use Cromite browser + uBlock Origin Lite, for Gecko (Firefox) use Librewolf or Mullvad browsers.

The browser app is the only program where (to me) Security/Privacy fully supersedes any concerns customizability and usability.

The AI portion looks like its more classic algorithms than real LLM/AI that the modern web associates with the term. But im not sure without really getting into the code. Its been a LONG time since ive worked with lisp.

More details are here: https://github.com/atlas-engineer/nyxt/issues/3386

Im not defending the tool, just trying out some new browsers. But I did want to make that bit clear. Either way, it is causing some confusion.
