I have a bash alias "ddg" that opens duckduckgo on w3m for searching error messages and such. Despite "responsiveness" and all that, the best way to use a graphical web browser is full-screen; with a tiling wm, text browsers are often the best choice.
I pity the fool that switches between jupyter notebooks and stack overflow answers using a mouse and tiny tiny tabs. That fool was me ~18 months ago.

And newsboat / rsstail / multitail. ddg () { w3m https://duckduckgo.com/lite?q="$*"; } I've spent rather too much time recently coming up with a sane RSS output sanitizer / text formatter. Given the crap that's generated it's a complicated process.
- c22 8y agoI use a whole separate computer for browsing/documentation. I switch my keyboard and mouse with a hotkey through my kvm, but I use multiple monitors to keep both systems visible at all times. The only downside of this setup is it forces me to reimplement stack overflow answers rather than copy and paste, but I suspect this is actually a good thing.
