Did some testing with

  • xombrero (which you may have known as xxxterm since it started its life on OpenBSD - see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xombrero). Works ok except for the huge profile picture but since there are no cookies, every time I change from home to locale (for example), I'm thrown back at login, which ends up on home 😈 )
  • lynx : works quite well actually.
  • w3s: useable - probably need to reprogram the color default to be really useful but no technical issues
  • dillo just sits there ???? After relaunching from the command-line, it seems that the problem is that the pages expects to loads some fonts which it does not find. Maybe having a default font known to be there would solve the problem.
  • Web , the gnome browser - works ok, nothing to report - no pic since limited to 4 :-)

Wil continue testing with lesser-known browser

@francois great, thank you!
I'm testing with lynx, and that's why it works well there 😉

  • min works - nothing specific
  • netrik didn't work, but that's because it doesn't understand https (yes, I'm using really old stuff :-) )
  • epiphany works as well (but that's expected)

Need to stop testing now, but Ihopefully will resume later

@daisy yes, it may look strange. But I know a lot of people that still use TUIs or text only browsers. And, to be honest, I’m one of those 😂
Lynx or elinks are not my daily drivers, but it happens quite often that I use them from my console or a remote ssh connection
