Ok #elinks, what is JavaScript?

Do you have server running FSP (sourceforge.net/projects/fsp)?
Elinks (github.com/rkd77/elinks) still can use it.

That's really interesting! Thanks for sharing. It's interesting you mentioned #lynx. I worked on #elinks years (decades?) ago.

Unlike #lynx, #elinks doesn't work today.

In a way, I'd be interested to know if there's any interest in writing a text-based browser. Presumably, the problems one will encounter are with JavaScript, etc. Plus, displaying images inline (sixel?).

@AndyGER #elinks

The original http://elinks.or.cz/ isn't maintained anymore, but e.g. #Debian are now basing their package on felinks https://github.com/rkd77/elinks

#GNU #Linux #FLOSS #browser #www

@FIGBERT #elinks is a great way to combine the two worlds if you ever need to consult something. Especially if the websites are sane i.e. no Javascript, text-centric etc

@libreleah torified #elinks is the lightest "Tor Browser" I've ever seen, but yah, might be not very feature rich. At least you can browse some tor libraries for epubs with it.

I am looking for a terminal web broswer.

Not only is it a good idea to be able to browse the web in the terminal like on a server using ssh, you can also browse the web on your computer more privately and supposedly faster.

Any suggestions?

- links
- links2
- elinks
- w3m
- lynx
- eww
- hv3
- browsh

#terminal #ssh #web #browser #links #links2 #elinks #w3m #lynx #eww #browsh

#TIL that if you add this to #Elinks 's configuration file:

set connection.async_dns = 0

And start it with `torify elinks`, you will be able to browse .onion sites in #Tor with it, without the need to chain a SOCKS-to-HTTP proxy like Privoxy.

I'm not sure how this is possible (I was told many times that torsocks doesn't do onion resolution), or even how secure this is (i.e. is everything really routed through Tor?), but it works for a quick surf around the network, so I'm sharin' it!
