browsh and carbonyl[0] are such lifesavers on airplane wifi. I find that carbonyl has even better chromium rendering than browsh. [0] https://github.com/fathyb/carbonyl

Carbonyl is still the goat https://github.com/fathyb/carbonyl

Fun fact, this project helped the author get a job: https://github.com/fathyb/carbonyl/issues/162#issuecomment-1780548128 Carbonyl is surprisingly performant and usable, especially with --zoom=300 --bitmap At lower resolutions, it would be nice to render images using a "subpixel" terminal rendering library like chafa ( https://hpjansson.org/chafa/ ), or maybe sixels/kitty image protocol.

yeah very sad, had a tmux shortcut for quickly "googling" things.. However, https://www.startpage.com/ does not complain and supposedly sports the same search index.. For modern sites and if your terminal toolchain does not support sixel, https://github.com/fathyb/carbonyl is a neat hack that gives you a text-rendered blink engine, i.e. supporting all the same sites as those pesky GUI browsers. With sixel/kitty graphics, there was another option which slipped my mind.. [edit: maybe chawan as in sibling comment, but that also is "not supported" by google with the default user agent.]

… tunnel b/w 2 servers, start puppeeter in debug instance and open up a website and then hook it up using remote debugging in my ungoogled chromium. I really wanted something that could just work... Now that being said, the project was really cool. So it might come slightly off topic but when I had last viewed the project, there were a lot of people asking if the project is dead or more importantly, what has happened to author and there were comments like this after the job part and even hackernews showed concern of the dev's life https://github.com/fathyb/carbonyl/issues/201 [is the dev killed by IDF in Gaza #201]

I don't think any of these text-based web browsers are actively maintained; "Show HN: Browsh – A modern, text-based browser" (2018) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17487552 browsh-org/browsh: A fully-modern text-based browser, rendering to TTY and browsers https://github.com/browsh-org/browsh "Forking Chrome to render in a terminal" (2023) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34547259 fathyb/carbonyl: Chromium running inside your terminal https://github.com/fathyb/carbonyl chawan: TUI Web Browser https://sr.ht/~bptato/chawan/ Ladybird browser may be easier to build a TUI terminal user interface for than other brothers because of Lagom FWIU (LibWeb and LibJs are already decoupled f…

Carbonyl looked promising but unfortunately is not maintained anymore: https://github.com/fathyb/carbonyl
