Why takes it longer to open an URL in qutebrowser than in chromium?::
When opening an URL in an existing instance the normal qutebrowser
python script is started and a few PyQT libraries need to be
loaded until it is detected that there is an instance running
where the URL is then passed to. One workaround is to use this
https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/blob/master/scripts/open_url_in_instance.sh[script]
and place it in your $PATH with the name "qutebrowser". This
script passes the URL via an unix socket to qutebrowser (if its
running already) using socat which is much faster and starts a new
qutebrowser if it is not running already. Also check if you want
to use webengine as backend in line 17 and change it to your
needs.
