  • That's nice. What web browser do you use?

    • I use all three web browsers in 9front at different times: abaco, mothra, and netsurf.

      My favorite is probably mothra, but netsurf handles most sites in a way that people expect (read: it supports CSS and JS).

      ETA: use cases

      • abaco
        • pros: acts like acme and supports viewing multiple pages simultaneously, best for text-only browsing
        • cons: very basic, many sites just don't work at all

       

      • mothra
        • pros: simple, works for a wider variety of sites, can disable image loading entirely with a flag, moth mode is great
        • cons: no tabs, unfamiliar UI for most people, selecting text for snarfing is weird

       

      • netsurf
        • pros: most "normal" web browser, supports CSS and JS, familiar UI
        • cons: no tabs, more bloated than other options, requires compiling a (small) web browser from source
