Texttop VS ELinks

> If you are using a JS based browser, you don't deserve security in first place. In some cases, that is true, but not all, and I suggest not even most. In many cases, I think people are just as liable for being unwilling to use Whonix. > If I had time I could set up a tutorial not to use SSH as a proxy, but as a client to a remote VPS/tilde to use the offpunk client there to browse web/gemini and gopher sites... - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

I use EWW as a browser in emacs but sometimes I need a browser that is more GUI oriented. I stumbled on two such browsers that can be used in a terminal: Carbonyl and Browsh. Source: about 1 year ago

But not by me.'" which was leading me to share the page for elinks. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

The browser always displays the text "IMG" and not the filename, title, or alternate text when rendering tags. Source: almost 3 years ago

Tiddlywiki is a wiki in a single file (ie it updates the file itself) - if you can make that work with a text mode browser such as elinks (http://elinks.or.cz/) then that could be a direction worth exploring. Source: almost 3 years ago
