Not really. It wasn't really usable after the release (which was 4 years ago). Constantly crashing, featureless (which it still is, but now you have extensions). I tried it several times in the course of the first year after release and it was really (really) bad. But even if it was 3 years, it's still a short time for a browser to be around.

But as leddt pointed out, I misunderstood the comment I replied to.



> featureless (which it still is)

It can render web pages.


Obviously. And "feature" might not be the best term as I meant something like "can't configure it or do anything else than render a web page really".


So can wkhtmltopdf, but I wouldn't use it as a browser.


That's not an exhaustive list of features. It can also execute javascript, which seems to be lacking in wkhtmltopdf. That's a must-have for me.
