• can someone with courier access please provide details on this report

  The Couriers paywall is soft and pathetic, you can read their stories with a text based browser that doesn't include javascript, e.g. http://links.twibright.com/. Source: about 1 year ago

• Kristall – a browser without support for CSS/JS/WASM or graphical websites

  Like Links[1] then? Really. I want Epiphany and Firefox to allow me turn off JavaScript like I can allow/disallow {Audio, Video, Webcam, Location, Notifications...}. The single wrong decision was following Google into that JS-Show. JS has it rationals, I'm using it as programmer sometimes. But JS was consider harmful for the reasons!

• Is reddit shadow-censoring content posted from Tor?

  Did you see your post appear without being logged in on the Tor browser? Many subreddits block fresh account posts from being seen. Also, just fyi Tor browser and it's javascript are a serious threat to your privacy when using Tor. You'd be better off using Links. Source: over 2 years ago

• Why no rust love for servo?

  True, but there is a case to be made for non-full-fledged browsers. Simple browsers like links or dillo, where users are happy to trade assured website compatibility for very low resource usage or simple UX. Or quickly displaying known-reasonable pages, like a user manual or generated rust docs. Lots of software embed an overkill rendering engine for those tasks. Source: over 2 years ago

• /etc/elinks.conf can't display images

  Links, which, according to Wikipedia (and much to my astonishment), has been updated just last May, works in both text and graphics mode and does display various image formats in the latter.

• Protect Yourself from Advanced Fingerprinting

  I like links because it has a -g option for graphical-mode viewing. w3m, however, is extremely configurable, scriptable, and can easily integrate other tools and scripts. As an emacs user, eww is surprisingly nice and highly scriptable (emacs-lisp), etc. Source: about 3 years ago
