      1 # Web browsers
      2 
      3 *This article is a stub. Right now it's mostly rage and me trying to remember what I used and how it was.*
      4 
      5 The ever ubiquitous browsers have gradually consumed the world and are evil and I will not elaborate further.
      6 
      7 ## TUI
      8 
      9 [[Terminal UI]] browsers are the objectively superior option and must be used instead of whatever this modern idiocracy is.
     10 
     11 - Links
     12     > The greatest one, but still is a tui
     13     - Elinks
     14         > The greatest successor and even better but still suffers same issues
     15     - Lynx
     16         > uuuuuh, it's pretty? Elinks is better
     17 - w3m
     18     > It's fine
     19 - [chawan](https://git.sr.ht/~bptato/chawan)
     20     > Honestly most powerful and good looking, supports HTTP(S), (S)FTP, Gopher, Gemini, etc what a package! (apparently it looses to elinks on that front since it also supports all those and more).
     21 - (the firefox backend one) (browsh?)
     22     > Could be better, fails at both ends
     23 
     24 ## Open source
     25 
     26 Always have some problems.
     27 
     28 - surf
     29     > You control your software but you also make it. Suckless is a lego kit without any lego, too bad
     30 - Qutebrowser
     31     > I hate it, used so much and had so much issues (and god it eats ram so much) that I hate it, uses [[WebEngine]] which itself is basically [[Chromium]] which itself is garbage
     32 - LuaKit
     33     > Never properly worked, always crashed and had many problems with displaying things because of [[Webkit]]
     34 - Min
     35     > Browser running on electron, genius (actually) and is honestly best browser yet...
     36 
     37 ## Closed source
     38 
     39 Always spying on you and weigh a ton.
     40 
     41 - Edge
     42     > See chrome
     43 - IE
     44     > Never worked (why is it here?)
     45 - Firefox (it is)
     46     > Feels bad
     47 - Chrome (and all offshoots)
     48     > Hi, I would like your data and your data and your data and your life please
     49 - Vivaldi
     50     > Fake candy and now even more companies spy on you
     51 
     52 ## Mobile
     53 
     54 It's all bad. Not even going to write stuff under those.

     56 - Chrome
     57 - Firefox
     58 - Browser????? (the default one)
     59 - Vivaldi
