I was reading websites in Lynx for a while...really reduces the distractions. Some sites have been broken for years, but it’s more usable than you’d think.

- anthk 6y agoDitto, but for some pages I use the Gopher proxy as gopher://codevoid/1/hn or gopher://gopherddit.com as they keep the comment threading layout as is, allowing you to follow a conversation perfectly.
- akalsz 6y agoLynx is great, but I personally prefer w3m[1]. Of course it's still quite limited without css/js, but it renders websites way nicer (with shiny html features like frames, tables, etc.), and even supports displaying images. With the right configuration, it can also do stuff like automatically replacing urls, or youtube-dl'ing a page and piping its output to mpv.

- eafer 6y agoI use lynx for RSS. Most websites do work, but I find it annoying to have to scroll past all the menus and forms, which are sometimes several pages in the terminal. Rdrview doesn't replace lynx, it just removes the clutter before you open the page on lynx.
