* Package name : browsh Version : 1.4.6 Upstream Author : Thomas Buckley-Houston <[email protected]> * URL : https://www.brow.sh/ * License : LGPL-2.1 Programming Lang: Go Description : Fully interactive, realtime, and modern text-based browser If you only have a 3kbps internet connection tethered from a phone, then it's good to SSH into a server and browse the web through, say, elinks. That way the server downloads the web pages and uses the limited bandwidth of an SSH connection to display the result. However, traditional text-based browsers lack JS and all other modern HTML5 support. Browsh is different in that it's backed by a real browser, namely headless Firefox, to create a purely text-based version of web pages and web apps. These can be easily rendered in a terminal or indeed, ironically, in another browser. . Browsh can also use MoSH to further reduce bandwidth and increase stability of the connection. Mosh offers features like automatic reconnection of dropped or roamed connections and diff-only screen updates. The packaging will require some time as many dependencies are missing. I plan to maintain it within the Go packaging team. Paride
