> Google ... doesn't force you to use Javascript.
About 3 months ago Google became unusable when browsed through w3m: search results are not rendered as links, just as a regular text that can't be followed-through. They clearly assume you always browse with js enabled, I can't think of any other explanation.
- kick 7y agoThat sounds like a w3m problem. Still works on elinks and links. Actually, I just tried it on w3m. Still works just fine. It must be that whoever compiled your w3m messed up in some way.
- vthriller 7y agoMy w3m installation didn't change in the last year or so. I also had opportunity to test this on various machines when needed to google random things in a hurry—it's consistently broken for me. As for reproducability, in just this week I've seen two versions of image search page back and forth, with little visual changes here and there as well as CORS headers that break some bookmarklets that I occasionally use. I guess they're doing some A/B testing, or just roll out changes slowly.
