- benatkin 2y agoWow, 25 years old! https://dillo-browser.github.io/ https://dillo-browser.github.io/
- pbronez 2y agoAnd still under active development! Looks like they had two releases this year.
- sylware 2y agoYou have netsurf which is a CSS renderer, better than dillo since it is written in C and not some computer language with a grotesquely and absurdely complex syntax/size.
- forgotmypw17 2y agoThank you for reminding me to give NetSurf another try. No package in Ubuntu for some reason, but relatively easy to compile from source.
- ajot 2y agoWeird, Debian has NetSurf in its repos (netsurf-gtk, or netsurf-fb if you want to render it directly to framebuffer with no UI toolkit)
- forgotmypw17 2y agoThanks, I was able to install netsurf-gtk just fine. It would be nice if `apt install netsurf` returned something more helpful than "Unable to locate package netsurf"
- sylware 2y agonetsurf is using the GTK+ toolkit. The thing is I was about to build my own browser with netsurf components (but probably with my own toolkit)... then I stumbled upon the fact that it won't help much more than to use links or lynx since sites are getting javascript-walled. At best I would get a CSS renderer, coded in plain and simple C99+. Since Big Tech controls the software to access their online service, they will give hell to any promising real-life alternative. To say that the only sane way out of this, is not even coding a plain and simple C99+ real-life javascript web engine, but ensure by law/regulation that all "utility/critical" sites have a working and sane noscript/basic (x)html portal (as 100% of them had a few years ago...............)
- rcdwealth 2y agoI always do first: apt-cache search netsurf
- forgotmypw17 2y agoThanks! I'll know to do that in the future.
