- craftyguy 8y agoAh, but even X libs take up a non-trivial amount of space on a system. AND you need a whole different browser installed to even use it, since Browsh is basically just a wrapper for firefox.
- tombh 8y agoExactly. This is the price we pay to access the modern web.
- craftyguy 8y agoI consider it a feature to not be able to 'access the modern web' when the 'modern web' requires tens of MB of JS crap trying to track me. Very, very few sites I use are completely broken with JS disabled, so the default policy is to disable it. Having a cli browser that doesn't support it doesn't seem like a bad thing. If a new site doesn't load, tough luck for them.
