I’m writing this comment in luakit. It doesn’t support extensions from any other browser’s extension repos AFAIK, but the extensions it comes with out of the box (though they’re not all enabled by default) cover ~80% of the things I use extensions for in Firefox, and the things they do cover kind of work better.

I miss cosmetic filters from µBO and should implement something like Privacy Redirect, but vertical tabs work more easily (they don’t require hacking around user.css to disable horizontal ones, though there are no tree-style ones), there’s a simple Stylus alternative, userscript support, JS whitelisting/toggling with a modifier-free binding, and of course native vi/Pentadactyl-like bindings which make extension-provided ones feel viscerally painful (they’re not eviscerated whenever a page is in the process of loading or unloadable, and searching stays incremental).
