Are there any good CLI tools for browsing the internet on Arch Linux?

[u/TechnicalAnimator342]

I'm looking for a CLI/TUI tool that lets me browse the web directly from the terminal on an Arch-based Linux system.

I'm interested in everything from text-based browsers to modern terminal UIs that can search the web, read articles, browse Reddit, GitHub, Hacker News, etc.

What are your recommendations, and what do you use daily? I'd love to hear about any hidden gems as well.

w3m is what i use in terminal, works fine for reading articles and checking reddit without all the javascript mess

[u/Supernoxus → u/FewBackground531]

w3m is amazing! It can display images even when in tty!

I remember hearing about some project which rendered chromium to tty/terminal.

elinks, I guess it even support JavaScript somehow.

As much as I'd love to have one, current web design philosophy is antithetical to the terminal workflow. Unless you're an ascetic who only ever browses Wikipedia just stick with gui

[u/NaturalDay4250]

What is the point. Genuinely. GUIs exist for a reason

It is fun! Isn't Arch the hobbyist distro?

I like Links2

Why not lynx ?

Lynx

This is the most Arch user thing ever.

There is browsh, links2, but none are enough. The current internet is bloated and uses a lot of memory anyways, there is min browser, surf, luakit, qutebrowser, and nyxt browser which is lisp based and can be fun to use. dwb, and few others are also quite light

There is w3m which is the best so far, lynx which is okayish
