How many people here use console web browsers? What worthwhile

>>56560507
Yes, I use EWW which is built into emacs.

There's also w3m, however it's fucking sourceforge based and for about 2 years that site was serving malware https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9623876 and had numerous security problems with tampered open source projects, and essentially blacklisted completely by the entire internet so I consider it a dead project until they move somewhere else (even though now apparently sourceforge "apologized" after being sold May 2016).

Lynx has some serious problems, mainly it's maintainers fill it with exploitable bugs. Links, is still OK though.

Is this just for fun? Or is there some benefit or something to using a console web browser?

Forgot to add, to watch videos I use http://docs.livestreamer.io/ or grab them with a script if recorded.

I deleted my X during first year so I wouldn't have any distractions and used a console a browser whenever I had to look up something on wikipedia, eventually found I liked it esp since the output can be manipulated with AWK or sed to further remote junk, or if you want to save information for testing purposes later http://joeferner.github.io/2015/07/15/linux-command-line-html-and-awk/

No bloated ui or engine. Crippled interface, though.

People want to look 1337 as fuck when they browse their preferred hentai discussion boards

Partially for fun. Partially to avoid anything more than necessary. For example, stackoverflow and support/doc sites might be usable but social media and amusement sites might be layout clusterfucks and/or too dependent on non-text elements.

Right now I'm mostly trying to avoid wasting time on image-hoarding habits...

There's also reader mode in firefox, can't remember if chrome has it too but it successfully declutters pages of all aids/cancer and bullshit so you can just get the body text.

I use it on every news site, no more billions of frames all shilling me junk or starting a video just text in the center of screen

if you're tunneled into a box somewhere and need to google something it is useful

Everyday this board finds another way to look more retarded.

You guys are so fucking autistic, holy fucking shit. This is a level beyond the typical shit you see here.
