Loads of ideas! So well first I need to identify what people want and are willing to pay for. I like the awards for lo-fi websites, I could have a showcase section of the website.
I would pay for a mobile app that reduces my bandwidth usage during traveling while surfing the Webb away from WiFi.
Just a heads up: enter https://www.brow.sh:443/ url here http://sitereview.bluecoat.com/lookup
That just means that someone rated it that way. The owner ought to dispute that.

I was wondering about this. If everything goes through an already installed browser, then what is the advantage that browsh has over a minimalistic fork of Firefox with e.g., lower bandwith features?
I guess the point is to install this on some random server somewhere that you can then SSH to. It really does seem like a good way to have a speedy browser experience over even insanely slow network connections.
Edit: according to comments below the headless browser (i.e., the Firefox installation) runs on the server. After this, the smaller bandwith data gets sent directly over SSH.

Yes. My point is that people are blocked to access the website because that list is used by some firewalls to allow or block access.
Edit: And I see that https://www.startpage.com/ isn't banned, and it includes a proxy option.

Do they support SNI? https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1527856
The latest version of links does support SNI. I use several clients that do not support SNI and one workaround is to connect through a program that does support it, e.g. haproxy, socat, etc. Privacy/censorship conscious users may dislike SNI, SSL/TLS implementors are now trying to "fix" it, and in fact most SSL/TLS-enabled websites do not require SNI to be sent (popular browsers send it anyway). If requested, I can p…

Enable SSL SNI, some servers need it
[…]Some of you may have seen this before under its previous incarnation of "Texttop". Then it was just a hack, but I got some great feedback, so I've spent most of the last 12 months turning it into something serious. It's morphed into more than a mere TTY gimmick. That UNIX philosophy of text being the "universal interface" has somewhat unexpectedly risen to the forefront, such that Browsh is now essentially a text bro…
Another insidious idea is to pitch this browser to companies as a way to reduce wasted time on social media and time-wasting websites - employees could be trained on how to quickly extract text information from a website that is relevant to some business goals, without getting distracted by the time-wasting opportunities that a browser provides.
What I would love to see (but where far fewer promise of riches lay) is to use this as part of some great developer tool - this seems it could be a more intuitive way to test an interface than Selenium. Until then I look forward to personally supporting and using your awesome project!
