Browsh is a web browser that can be run from terminal client environments such as ssh and Mosh or from a web browser client. It represents web pages as text.
Technology
The Browsh web browser represents web pages as text and can be run either from a terminal client environment or from a web browser.[3] As of August 2018[update] the web browser client remains less developed.[3] It has been developed since 23 April 2016.[4] It uses Go as a core part of its implementation.[3] Browsh uses a headless version of Mozilla Firefox to fetch and parse web pages.[3]
Reception
This may be seen as a modern replacement for the Lynx text-based web browser.[5] Others have felt displaying the web in text is impractical.[6]
