oh, then it could be just my setup... let me check if #qutebrowser fails to write to a file or something when trying to save passwords...

I've never used #qutebrowser, but I heard it works OK with snac. It's the first time I hear about the annoying password issue.

Given #snac's low bar requirements, I think any modern web browser is fine. I use Firefox, but totally agree on the heavy side (I have an unresolved love+hate relation with Firefox). I don't recommend any Chrome-based solution, because Google (though snac works great there).

I wish a small web browser (even a text-mode one!) with support for summary / details existed. In fact, if I ever develop another web app (a case that is probably not going to happen), I would not rely on this functionality.
