  5. @nathanael @joel I did a quick test with #w3m and to my surprise it works and doesn't look too bad.

    Bookmarked.

    Hey bud, IIRC, I couldn't get it working. :/

    Looking at my past statuses with the #brutaldon hashtag, it looks like I got it working with #NetSurf and #w3m, but I don't see anything from (nor recall getting it working with) #Dillo. :/

    On this curve we clearly see the drop in contributions following the abandon by Mozilla and the incredible rise since.

    2023 was already a better year than 2020, and it was x3 in 2025 compared to Mozilla's period. A beautiful square-root shaped curve : √

    Ok it's not ready yet, but a lot of people are rushing toward this goal.

    I should be able to do the same with the w3 tool that yt-dlp uses to fetch YouTube videos. I've looked for a practical use case to write a small program with that tool and you've just given me one 😊

    On va parler histoire des navigateurs web, découvrir les protocoles #gopher et #gemini, et surtout pratiquer avec #lynx et #w3m 🧑‍💻

  21. Closing W3m Tabs The Right Way

  23. Github error say: "too many requests", while I just click once in the option "next page". So, maybe github is already telling me what the heck #Firefox is doing that #Chromium doesn't. O think both browsers are a bit abusive, since both, when open, with only a blank page, I have so much connections that I ask: Does I visit severa sites without knowing? :)) Use #w3m or gh to search github.

  24. This[127] is the first release candidate for w3m v0.5.6.

    Please test and report any problems to the mailing list[0].

    You can also find all these patches in branch v0.5.6rc1 at [1] or [2].

    Thanks to lesssalt, chimera lover, skejg and all others for their
    contributions and feedback!

  25. I wonder how other #maintainer handle the version bump for release candidates. I'm planning a RC for #w3m but want to avoid multiple commits updating the configure script just to bump from rc1 to rc2 to release.

  26. The more I use the internet, the more I LOVE #w3m browser. How can a browser like Chromium take so much resources when it is serving a single html page? I don't know, but it takes a lot of resources, and #curl would be enough, while sometimes is useful to get the html files, to read them offline, w3m is useful to open several tabs and follow links. My use of computers on internet are like this. Even for this platform I use #toot. I think I will remove all #linux and substitute them with #OpenBSD

  28. Okay...how do other folks decide between different terminal-based web browsers?

    Lynx is the one that gets mentioned the most on fedi. It also has by far the highest popcon on Debian.

    It seems Lynx is part of the same family tree as links, links2, and elinks. Trying all of them, I really don't see much difference between Lynx and Links: the only differences I notice are that they use different default colors for text, and links has a smaller file size.

    Links2 can run in either graphical or terminal mode. I can't use the graphical mode due to a lack of dark mode. The terminal version of link2 seems identical to links: is there even a difference?

    Elinks, when used as a web browser, seems nearly identical to the other three, aside from a different color scheme. Its website claims it supports CSS and JS, but I haven't seen those actually make a difference on a real website. Elinks can also work as a gemini and gopher browser, which is a nice perk.

    Outside of the links/lynx/elinks family, Debian has a few more terminal browsers.

    Edbrowse can let you load the text of a website and then edit it? It also works with geminispace.

    Netrik does not appear to work with https: it works fine with plain http.

    w3m, with the image extension, can display images inline in the terminal, which looks weird. Without the image extension, I don't notice much difference between w3m any the links family, aside from again a different color scheme.

    Overall, I don't see what makes Lynx stand out from all the other terminal browsers. Yet both fedi and Debian users seem to strongly prefer it. What criteria are other fedicreatures using to compare terminal web browsers?

  33. #w3m is released. This is an important bug fix release! See git.sr.ht/~rkta/w3m/refs/v0.5.5 for the details.

  34. #ELinks with `-dump-color-mode 2 -colors 1` has colors and numbered links

    #links2 with `-html-numbered-links 1` is monochrome, but has numbered links

    #Lynx too, but its output looks more messy to me.

    #w3m doesn't highlight links and doesn't output link URLs at all.

    #Pandoc can't handle table layouts, which unfortunately are still very common in commercial emails.

    #HTML2Text (the C++ tool, gitlab.com/grobian/html2text) does a decent job and supports bold & underline in `less` and NeoMutt's pager.

  37. Chawanというターミナルウェブブラウザを知りました.

    メモリセーフなNimで実?

    されていてライセンスはパブリックドメインです.

    同じようにターミナル上で動作するw3mやLynx系との大きな違いはJavaScriptやCSSに対応している辺りでしょうか.SixelやKittyのターミナル画像形式にも対応しています.

    少し試してみました.
