The top comment in the article mentions it, but chawan[1] is really quite neat. Many sites are still have their quirks (or may be broken), but I think it's the closest I've seen a text browser approximate a "real" browser. The support for CSS, JS, and images (depends on your terminal) is already quite impressive even if imperfect. To my knowledge it's an actual browser implementation rather than "cheating" by using an existing browser like browsh (which is still quite cool).

I liked chawan from the first time it was shown here on HN, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44293260 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44293260. It made me add support for CSS Grid API in my sites targeting text browsers.

- dredmorbius 9mo agoImage support has been present in numerous terminal-mode browsers for many years if not decades, generally implemented through the framebuffer, though in some cases the browser will spawn an external image viewer (presuming a graphical environment, e.g., Xorg / Wayland).
