This is very interesting, not sure for what, but very interesting... :)

Browsh is a fully-modern text-based browser. It renders anything that a modern browser can; HTML5, CSS3, JS, video and even WebGL. Its main purpose is to be run on a remote server and accessed via SSH/Mosh or the in-browser HTML service in order to significantly reduce bandwidth and thus both increase browsing speeds and decrease bandwidth costs.

Thanks. In a (real) xterm I ran

Code: Select all

ssh brow.sh
to connect to their (5 minute) demo and tried google.com and the Puppy forum web sites. Worked reasonably well as best as I could tell in the limited time.

Browsh is available as a small (~2.5MB) static binary on all major platforms. The only dependency is a recent 57+ version of Firefox.
Seriously?

Lynx is less than 1.4Mb, incl. all preferences files, and it does'nt need 50-60MB of FF!
