If you're going for minimal, it won't get much more minimal than this:
https://surf.suckless.org/ https://surf.suckless.org/
But at least the smart part may be of merit.
And we all know what HN thinks of electron, but at least bundling chrome with a browser seems reasonable.
Not for a minimalistic browser though, I think hence the branding as "a smarter browser".
Oh boy, I actually set out to defend the project, but now I realize while there's clearly been some work put into it, some areas haven't been thought out too well...
At least it looks nice and clean, that's something.
edit: corrected my wording in the first sentence.

I'd say lynx, w3m, links, dillo, netsurf, etc. are all more minimal in general.
- anthk 9y agoAhem, no. Links has right click, even Netsurf has that. About general minimalism, dillo is perfect. For cli, w3m and links are NOT minimal. That is netrik.
- chriswarbo 9y agoDidn't know about netrik, thanks. I wasn't implying that 'right click == bloat', only that there are two meanings for "minimal": a minimal amount of code, or a minimal UI. surf doesn't have a minimal amount of code, since it wraps WebKit; although it seems to have a minimal UI. My point about right-click, etc. is that much of the (GTK?) WebKit UI might still be lurking there. I agree that dillo is really nice. Not minimal in the UI sense though (tabs, toolbar, search box, etc.)
