Technology

The Browsh web browser represents web pages as text and can be run either from a terminal client environment or from a web browser.[4] As of August 2018 the web browser client remains less developed.[4] It has been developed since 23 April 2016.[2] It uses Go as a core part of its implementation.[4] Browsh uses a headless version of Mozilla Firefox to fetch and parse web pages.[4]

Reception

This may be seen as a modern replacement for the Lynx text-based web browser.[5] Others have felt displaying the web in text is impractical.[6]
