What does HackerNews think of browsh?
A fully-modern text-based browser, rendering to TTY and browsers
In some cases, that is true, but not all, and I suggest not even most. In many cases, I think people are just as culpable for being unwilling to use Whonix.

https://github.com/browsh-org/browsh can be pretty decent, too.
Aside, it's a shame that it's not common practice to provide resource gleanings in the form of such access to random others from one's VPS. An easily reproduced NixOS environment in VM with locked down containers proxying through a local tor instance(s) would scale up alright and significantly limit risks for the donor. I find very few people take up the offer to even use another's VPS though.
The browsh repo front page is just insanely impressive[0]. `links` is impossible to query the web for the project, so if you had more guidance on that one, it would be appreciated.

Edit: Noted I was querying for something more feature anemic, plus Browsh link
Honestly I wonder if there is a way to speed it up. Like a new terminal mode which lets you write or color a particular row/column directly, or utilizes the GPU to render to each pixel, or really anything better than literally printing text with fancy spacing, escapes, etc. on each refresh.
Until then, anything which is render-intensive you're much better using a GUI, even if it's just a shell script which opens a window while it's running.
