Holy shit...

OK, I work in web-app development...

Sometimes I forget just how _hostile_ the modern web is.

If you wanna see how aggressively a site wants to load you up with cookies and other trackers try opening it in `lynx` sometime.

I just opened the Atlantic website in `lynx` and I haven't been able to see anything yet because I'm still dismissing cookies.

curl libcurl
curl is the Swiss Army Knife of fetching programs

curl follows the UNIX principle, it does one thing, and it does it very good & curl has been doing it for decades.

If you want to know everything that curl does there are Man Pages. The man pages are not only for curl but also for libcurl. You are referred to libcurl immediately on the first page of man curl

This means that you have to read man curl and man libcurl

To make that a bit easier everything curl was created. Go there and check in a convenient manner what {lib} curl can actually do and be blown away.

I've made my screens caps on mobile. Look how nice everything has been divided.
I will also include screen caps from the desktop
