A dozen or so years ago, w3m used to be cream of the crop (as far as JS support went, at least). What happened to it?

- smabie 6y agoYeah I remember w3m being really good. Looking at the sourceforge page, it seems like development stopped in 2012.
- h1x 6y agoIt's still doing good: https://github.com/tats/w3m https://github.com/tats/w3m I am a very happy using w3m every day. Just occasionally there is a need to use a graphical browser. There is no JS support though. Don't think there ever was.
- mftrhu 6y agow3m supported tables and frames, but I'm pretty sure it never supported JS out of the box. There was an experimental w3m-js extension, but I don't think it ever saw much development: the most recent snapshot of that page [1] is from ~2010, and it links to patches from 2003. Elinks supposedly had it, but you have to compile it in yourself and I'm not sure how it fares these days. Edbrowse has decent support for it, but its rendering is not meant for sighted people and rudimentary (e.g., no color, it doesn't bother with aligning table cells).
