What I really love is that (when the server is working) you can ssh brow.sh And then have a graphical browser from anywhere :D.
Thanks! What are you seeing when the server isn't working?

#93> Browsh consists of a minimal Golang CLI client and a browser webextension. Most of the work is done by the webextension. When the CLI starts, it looks for a compatible browser (currently only Firefox) and starts it in headless mode. Once the browser has started it opens a remote debugging connection and installs the extension. So a browser wrapper .
In implementation, sure. But from the user's perspective, it's just a browser.

I'm not sure that's true, for example elinks doesn't support SNI: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1527856
elinks and lynx are completely different browsers. Lynx is actively developed and can link against recent versions of OpenSSL, GnuTLS, and LibreSSL. The latest release came out yesterday: http://lynx.invisible-island.net/release/ Lynx can render HTML5 web pages. Not sure what WebGL has to do with a web browser that is meant for terminal emulators. CSS is not supported in text browsers in general (not all of them are…
Surely though just the sheer fact of CSS's `hidden` declaration has to be taken into account by any browser, text-based nor not? I've came to the conclusion that there just simply isn't a subset of modern web standards that you can adhere to and still use the web today. Our best option is just to piggy back off one of the major browsers that does all the hard work of keeping up with the rapidly changing technologies.

#96If it doesn't have a script/cookie manager (similar to umatrix) then it's worthless. I had the same issue with qutebrowser.

#99Some 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…

I don't understand your point
I will keep browsh in mind when I'm again on some remote island. Could be a no brainer to install adhoc on a remote vm then.
