dwb is dead - What's your alternative?

According to the wiki:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dwb

As of this October 2014, dwb is no longer being maintained. Does anyone have any suggestions on a fast alternative minimal browser that navigates through keybindings?

luakit is also nice. However, I'm not sure if it is being maintained.

There's luakit, jumanji, surf, uzbl, vimprobable, sb, vimb.

Yeah, looks like luakit hasn't seen any love since the end of 2012. But the github page is still getting a couple of hits here and there.

I was thinking about writing my own with seed, but I am too lazy since the existing ones are good enough.

And xombrero (aka xxxterm).

I just switched to surf

I really like the way you can extend the browser through simple shell scripts that manipulate dmenu (bookmarking, smart-searching...).

Plus its super small and fast.

On the other hand, its ultra-minimal. It follows links and displays web-pages. Thats it. Everything else is hacked on.

QuteBrowser, largely inspired by dwb. Still under heavy development, I'm eager to see a v1.0
