Alacritty vs Contour

Alacritty is an open-source, GPU-accelerated terminal emulator focused on simplicity and performance. It uses OpenGL for rendering, making it one of the fastest terminal emulators available. Alacritty is configured through a YAML file and intentionally omits features like tabs and splits, relying on terminal multiplexers like tmux for those capabilities.

Contour is an open-source terminal emulator designed for modern terminals with support for Unicode, inline images, and sixel graphics. It provides a fast, feature-rich alternative to traditional terminal emulators.
