Very true.
I've used a variety of web browsers, but I've settled on Links as the best one. I can easily watch YouTube videos and in VLC, so no problem there with regards to video. The only thing I fire up Firefox for is my work-related activity which requires Flash and HTML5 to run.
But most of the time, it's
links2 -g
and off I go. A lot of websites look really bad on it though, with formatting errors and crap HTML. Visiting the mobile versions of those sites really clears everything up, though.
- keithpeter 13y agoThanks for the reminder about links2 with the -g switch! Stallman[1] goes one stage further "I fetch web pages from other sites by sending mail to a program that fetches them, much like wget, and then mails them back to me". I like the 'one firehose' approach (mail, presumably in emacs, for everything). Could add RSS feed watching in I suppose.

- sesqu 13y agoI use links2 -g a lot, but as you pointed out, many of sites are pretty bad on it, having pages and pages of crap before the content starts. That said, there are very few ads and paywalls and multimedia distractions. I do wish it supported animated gifs. Most of the time when I see a gif these days, I don't mind it flashing.
