What would a pkg_add -u do?

Alternatives include all these tiny programmable web browsers based
on webkit or alike:
* https://pwmt.org/projects/jumanji/ (webkit/gtk+)
* https://surf.suckless.org/ (webkit/gtk+)
* https://nyxt.atlas.engineer/ (webkit/gtk+ or blink/gtk+)
* https://qutebrowser.org/ (webkit/qt)
* https://fanglingsu.github.io/vimb/ (webkit/gtk+)
* ...
Or some long-timers projects that are quite stable and cover quite
enough to get most website content :
* http://www.netsurf-browser.org/ (extremely portable!)
* https://sourceforge.net/projects/midori-browser/ (as on Raspbian)
* ...
But you might encounter increasingly more websites that do not work
with them, as the web grows in complexity.
