>I generally do not connect to web sites from my own machine, aside from a few sites I have some special relationship with. I usually fetch web pages from other sites by sending mail to a program (see https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/womb/hacks.git https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/womb/hacks.git) that fetches them, much like wget, and then mails them back to me. Then I look at them using a web browser, unless it is easy to see the text in the HTML page directly. I usually try lynx first, then a graphical browser if the page needs it (using konqueror, which won't fetch from other sites in such a situation).
- cryptonector 9y agoThat's not a UI I want to use. Besides, MUAs have worse browsing and security characteristics than browsers. For example, by emailing yourself a web page you lose track of the real origin, and besides, your MUA won't have NoScript.
