😆 Ah, the #nostalgia of text-based browsers! This writer's love letter to #Lynx and #w3m is a trip down memory lane, where CSS is a four-letter word and *JavaScript* is a myth. 🚀 Spoiler: They don't matter, but hey, enjoy your pixelated, featureless web, grandpa! 🔍

Text-based web browsers

How do they fare with (not so) recent additions to HTML?

I can't express how great it is that we still have text based web browsers, they can be life savior when shit happens and for whatever reason Xorg can't start up, because they can be used on the TTY too.
Today I have this exact scenario when I had no other way to look up what could be my problem. I'm glad I have at least one of them installed on my systems.
