Most of what I want to do on the web is read text, and while I love Firefox it’s a bit of a resource hog for quick browsing. I’ve therefore been using links2 for a while. There is also Lynx, and Elinks and probably many more I’m not aware of.

links2 was somewhat of an arbitrary choice for me, so I was wondering if any comrades used terminal-based browsers and which ones they preferred? I’d value the feature of highlighting and copying text, but maybe that’s a concern for the terminal emulator itself? links2 is fine so far but wondering if anyone was particularly passionate about their browser choice on the terminal.

(Note: I’m aware of Kristall, for Gemini/HTTP/Gopher but I’m specifically interested in a terminal-based web browser)

    I use w3m to read some pages that seem to have too many things blocking the text. It has it’s limitations, but it is fun to read on CoolRetroTerm.

      Amazing thank you. w3m seems to be a relatively popular tool so I’ll give it a go. Thanks comrade.
