Technology

The Browsh web browser represents web pages as text and can be run either from a terminal client environment or from a web browser. [4] As of August 2018 the web browser client remains less developed. [4] It has been developed since 23 April 2016. [2] It uses Go as a core part of its implementation. [4] Browsh uses a headless version of Mozilla Firefox to fetch and parse web pages. [4]

Reception

This may be seen as a modern replacement for the Lynx text-based web browser. [5] Others have felt displaying the web in text is impractical. [6]
