please dump any small browsers you know about, i’d like to try them out
the two i can think of are emacs’s eww and links (text mode). eww has been surprisingly useful, even without js support and extremely barebones html rendering
this is eww:
and this is links:
sadly, neither is able to login to lemmy, but I was able to login to mastodon through brutaldon
EDIT: ooh, i forgot about lynx (not links). also command-line. it managed to successfully login to lemmy:
Can add chawan to this list.
https://sr.ht/~bptato/chawan/i used dillo back when i only had old, used laptops
That’s not the Dillo webpage anymore. There is a whole history behind this but the link is now this https://dillo-browser.github.io/
The dev was at FOSDEM a few weeks ago too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFJp8JDg8Yg
I think Dillo is a great project. The whole thing fits on a diskette. Crazy.
My wife uses that while I’m away 👍
Does Servo count? It was originally a Mozilla project to write a web engine in Rust, then got transferred to The Linux Foundation when Mozilla laid off a bunch of its staff
i’m not sure. is really a small browser? to me it’s falls more into the under construction browser category, like ladybird
Probably not a small browser, no. I just really wanted to plug it tho
makes sense
btw, servo’s rendering of lemmy is getting really good. there’s some missing stuff (and i couldn’t get replying to work), but it’s really cool to see
(though we can definitely discard servo as a small browser. it’s eating up almost 700 megabytes of ram rn, compared to netsurf’s 100 megs)
offpunk is very different from all others I’ve tried
Is suckless surf small enough? https://surf.suckless.org/
Dillo and NetSurf
Try https://piefed.social on lynx, I tried pretty hard to make it usable in a text-mode browser.
Lynx
It’s the best by far. The configuration can be tricky, but it worth it.
