What it does
Nyxt is a programmable browser whose documentation includes domain-based blocking and a mode for disabling JavaScript.
Nyxt's modes are a useful way to reason about browser behavior. Its manual describes blocker-mode for domain-based ad blocking and no-script-mode for disabling JavaScript. A user comfortable with configuration can make those choices part of a repeatable browsing setup instead of changing them manually each session.
The browser targets people who want to program their tools. Begin with a small configuration change and the documentation for that mode before building a large custom setup. Its programmability is a control feature, not evidence of anonymous browsing.
