We're talking about a web browser, right? What workflow?

It's an elitism thing. Notice the terminology "investing time to dramatically speed up workflow". This is the mantra that the keyboard-only adherents have latched onto, and extend to EVERYTHING, including things that are perfectly serviced via mouse control, or don't even need speeding up.

Arguing with them is like arguing with audiophiles.

Not sure why arguing is needed? You like a mouse, I think it sucks. If we meet up, we can trivially measure what is faster. What is there to argue?

What strikes me as odd is that this browser is not in a terminal, but in a window. So no usage through SSH, no terminal benefits, which are the origin of the keyboard-oriented workflow.

When I press F12, does an inspector open? Where does it open? When I select some words, how do I send them to a new tab in YouTube, Amazon, Google or Stack Overflow? How do I open all the links which are within a selected rectangle in new background tabs? Or use uBlock Origin's element picker?

I'm pretty sure this browser is super fast and all is super optimized and a top tier workflow, but mostly in certain limited scenarios.

You use the browser only to browse? We have all kinds of, usually quite shitty, web apps all types of LoB, ERP, etc. There is a lot of workflow to improve on.

Not necessarily with Nyxt or keyboard of course.

Even with a pdf browser, keyboard shortcuts come in handy. Especially with a big enough screen so that you can display the whole page at once.
