ITT we list non-chromium, non-firefox browsers

It doesn't have to be a "good alternative", the point is to look into alternatives and then assess them.

I'll start with ones I can think of off the top of my head:
- konqueror (kde, seems to support multiple engines, supports plugins, didn't have ublock last time I tried it)
- surf (suckless, but at least it's moddable at compile)
- lynx (invisible island, sixel support, cookie support)
- links
- w3m (might have sixel support idk, don't remember if it does cookies but probably, supports some html tags better than lynx)
- curl (prints file from url to stdout) to pipe into other stuff
- wget (downloads file from url)

You might be interested in Basilisk and Pale Moon.

The browser so gross, even the devs typed "Eww" while naming it.

Proprietary garbage.

I've been trying out LibreWolf lately.

I'm tempted to turn one of those lynx descendants written in rust into my main driver but I suspect they don't support the android documentation site (which I need for a project). I hate google so much

In past Omniweb was a great browser on MacOS. Rendered faster than any other browser on benchmark tests i ran in the past. They dont even work on it officially anymore but the devs work on it as a work of passion still releasing untested versions. Someone should try to convince them to release the source code since the browser isn't even being maintained by Omni Group anymore. It probably wouldn't be too difficult for someone to port.

You mention Surf but not similarly named NetSurf? Odd.

A few OP left out include Falkon, Midori, GNOME Web, Otter Browser, qutebrowser, Dillo and Gosub.

I'm not sure why there is so much talk about Ladybird development but no one talks about Servo.

Just tried out servo a couple days ago, even has an apk. It's interesting. Seemingly spotty CSS support but quite promising.

Drop your sexy curl and wget commands to download pages and pics from threads on here for offline reading. Printing to pdf or saving the page in browser isn't doing it.

Tried KDE Falkon and Angelfish today, appearently QTWebEngine is chrome-based so no dice for those two.

Taking me a bit to figure it out but this seems to be working. This reminds me of when I used to use Veib, but this is webkit, so even better!

Anyone has experience with Dillo?

not really as an user but I remember when I was writing my web renderer it was one of the codebases I used as reference. like with many old codebases I feel like developers back then weren't as concerned about readability and maintainability as we are today, so these codebases can be kind of hard to work with

qute is chromium

Glownonymous 16-03-25 06:18:04 No.28730

>>28728
no, midori uses webkit2gtk. it's predecessor galeon was originally based on gecko.
