Over the past year as I’ve gotten into linux and self-hosting as a hobby, I’ve found an interest in using terminals and the “minimalist” feeling it gives me. Recently I found out there are terminal based web browsers and I’m really interested in the stripped down nature of web browsing it offers.
I already tried out W3M but I know there are a few others such as Lynx and Browsh.
I’m interested in hearing about other people’s experiences with terminal web browsers, the pro’s and con’s and also the reasons for using them.
You might enjoy Surfraw, the Shell Users’ Revolutionary Front Rage Against the Web. I once used an old laptop like that with byobu and w3m but all the keybinds became tiring. Now it’s just a soon to be e-waste interactive fiction interpreter.
I hadn’t heard of surfraw, that looks cool!
