Rebuilding the line-mode browser (in node.js)

  Surprisingly usable, I like the references syntax for links much better than browsing through them like with lynx.

    Check out the Mouseless Browsing extension if you're using firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/mouseless-browsing/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/mouseless-bro... It's overkill to have it show the IDs all the time, so you can disable that and set a shortcut to toggle them on and off so you only get them when you want them.

      Don't forget Vimium for Chrome: http://vimium.github.io http://vimium.github.io

    Konqueror does this when you hit Ctrl. Conkeror does it when you hit F.

  The webfont used in the simulator renders badly in Chrome, Windows: http://i.imgur.com/jv1ltu5.png http://i.imgur.com/jv1ltu5.png (Firefox is fine).

    Does anyone know why Chrome font rendering sucks so hard. It isn't just this site. Boss passes me a design to make and more often than not we have to reject the designers font choice because of terrible rendering.

      As far as I know Chrome still uses GDI for its font rendering on Windows instead of the much better DirectWrite API. Firefox, IE10 and so on are using DirectWrite.
