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.
I’ve had a good enough experience with lynx that I gave it it’s own alias. Now anytime I want to search i just “ddg anything” and usually I can find the result in want without leaving the terminal.
I’m sure there are other great uses but that’s all I use it for and I love it.
