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.

  • That sounds interesting. It sounds like it’s modular so can be built around extensions?

    I’ve been using nano as my editor but I feel like I’m getting to the point where I might benefit from something a little more powerful.

    I’ll download it later and see about learning the shortcuts at first. I have a couple other things I’m focused on right now before I get deep into learning and customizing emacs.

    Having mutliple purposes in one program does seem convenient and something I would probably enjoy.

      Whilst you can download it and use it, I recommend you either start with a starter pack, or something like Doom or Spacemacs. Else, you’ll spend a couple of years before you get anything done.
