Why are my only choices for a text browser w3m and lynx in 2016?

I'm fairly sure there exists a text based browser that can run javascript.

the whole point of HTML5/CSS3 is being able to manipulate visual media even more than before, so you'd have to rephrase that.

which one? I have never found one.

>>55393334
links, elinks, and edbrowse are three I've found already through 5 minutes of searching that have some degree of javascript support. Results will vary.

>some degree of javascript support.

Yeah I have seen them - they support javascript from 1998 which is not useful.

cli browser that supports v8 or firefox's engine is what is needed.

Just get a real browser, faggot. The web isn't designed for script kiddies using CLI web browsers for muh reputation in muh sekkrit clubs.

How hard would it be to write in emacs lisp a text browser that supports modern javascript?

>>55393488

using stuff like atom in a terminal, using webmail in a terminal, reading documentation (that's no so bad usually)

Most of it's just terminals don't render modern layouts very well, lot of the browsers were written for 80x24 so they don't take advantage of bigger terminals.

Personally I would keep stuff open over ssh - ie keep my work ticking system running in tmux, or shit post on my website of choice without it going through my work network ( I could tunnel traffic over ssh but this would be easier)

Mostly that it's nice to have options. Most of the time I use emacs in X, but there have been quite a few times I ssh in and do emacsclient -nw to access my current buffers.

How do you render images in the terminal?

Why would you ever do that?
