I love qutebrowser and use it daily (and donate to the compiler), mostly on Linux but also on Windows.

Here are some of my headaches that force me to use Chrome/Firefox anyway sometimes, if anyone has answers to these I am very interested to hear them.

* Can't save passwords / autofill (for accounts I don't particularly care about)

* UI scaling in Windows (for high-res screens) is bad. The web page contents do not scale automatically.

* Does not resolve Teams "secure links" (workaround is to right click teams links instead and copy them, then paste in qutebrowser)

* Twitter videos don't work

* On linux (somehow this works on windows), "accept all cookies" sometimes does not get rid of that prompt. Stack overflow is an example where this happens. Another example is redhat where the prompt does not load for a while [0]

* Clicking something that spawns a box where text can be inserted does not bring me into insert mode. Example [1] (the searchglass). This causes me to close the tab by mistake sometimes by typing 'd'.
