4 years ago Hello @7f043 and thank you for your input! I'll try to answer some of your concerns.
Default zoom for pages in settings. I find the default zoom for most webpages to be too small. (I can read it, but why strain the eyes like that?) I always tend to increase it to 133% or so.
Yes, we are aware. Other(s) have pointed this out before (#898).
A way to add css for specific sites. I generally hate the way certain sites are layed out, and I apply my own CSS to them. I like to remove elements that are otherwise ugly to me. It would be cool if I could do that here as well.
You actually can! Through usercss (it's best to first read this wiki page) you can create a script that adds a style element to a page with the desired CSS. This is a very good example of just that.
Also, to limit it to a certain website, you'll need to modify the @match parameter. You'll need to put * for the parts that can be whatever. For example: execute on every Google website @match *google.com*, this means that it doesn't matter what comes before google.com and what comes after it, there just needs to be the google.com.
That is a very bad example, because you can have google.com anywhere in the link (which is problematic if you, for example, search for google.com) and also it will execute on pages like mail.google.com. It's best to make it more specific, so something like @match *://www.google.com or @match *://mail.google.com.
the VIM extension may have an issue where pressing "f" on a youtube video page will both simultaneously fullscreen the video, and also cause the link selector to appear
This isn't that much a bug than a configuraation problem. YouTube has some build-in shortcuts, so the problem is that yout Vim shortcut executes, but also YouTube executes it's own shortcut. The solution is to either change the Vim shortcut or create a usercss file that blocks/changes YouTube's shortcut (I can't help with that, because I don't know how YouTube handles shortcuts).
Adblocker doesn't seem to block pre-video ads on youtube.
Yes, this is also a known problem (first mentioned in #1121). For now the only fix is to use this usercss file. For me atleast it blocked the pre-video ads every time.
For 2 and 3 @PalmerAL should say.

I found this browser just tonight, I'm already impressed. There are a handful of things I look for in a browser.
Things I look for: Simple, privacy focused, ad-blocking, with some kind of "vim" keyboard extension. This browser manages to hit the nail on the head. Well done. Believe it or not, it has been impossible to find all of these things in one place.
Things I have yet to find/should be added/the browser is missing:
Default zoom for pages in settings. I find the default zoom for most webpages to be too small. (I can read it, but why strain the eyes like that?) I always tend to increase it to 133% or so.
the "new tab" page is too bright. This page should be dark when using the dark theme for the browser.
There should be an option to have "private tabs" be in a separate window. I appreciate this browser tries to do something new, but this is a massive problem when having 10+ tabs open. It can be disorienting.
A way to add css for specific sites. I generally hate the way certain sites are layed out, and I apply my own CSS to them. I like to remove elements that are otherwise ugly to me. It would be cool if I could do that here as well.
Bugs:

Good job, I'm enjoying my new browser so far! Just a few suggestions for a hard-working team. Thanks for the consideration!
