There was another thread or part of a thread on gopher, recently. From the OP, I'll cite this bit, because it was also mentioned in that thread and meant, for me, that I didn't have to seek out any additional software (since Firefox dropped gopher support some time ago). Another good option for using Gopher is Lynx, an old-school text-based browser that was superseded by Netscape, but which is still supported. The completely text-based interface has its own sort of elegance, and I like it when I don’t want to be distracted by all the stuff that yells for your attention on the modern net. I already had lynx installed. I don't recall explicitly installing it on this particular machine; maybe it comes by default with Ubuntu 16.04?
