Nonpersistent vm-based browser, I use qemu + cage + firefox and some glue logic to fire up a copy of a base image which gets deleted on exit. Fires up slower than a native firefox instance but runs all the same. Can containerize for the les

Check out SmartOS, it's illumos/solaris based but I think you'll find it is a nice middle ground. Not as abstracted, nice tooling that makes common tasks simple but not so opinionated you have to de-abstract things to get und
