small browsers

please dump any small browsers you know about, i'd like to try them out
the two i can think of are emacs's eww and links (text mode). eww has been surprisingly useful, even without js support and extremely barebones html rendering
this is eww:
and this is links:
sadly, neither is able to login to lemmy, but I was able to login to mastodon through brutaldon
W3m and elinks come to mind for text only.

i used dillo back when i only had old, used laptops

There's NetSurf, which is really lightweight for a graphical browser. There's also Falkon and Otter Browser. They are more capable, but use more resources.

cool. weird default colors, though
(for some reason, my instance won't load, so I had to open lemmy.ml to take this snapshot)

oh, cool! this is the best render of (old) lemmy so far
(p.s. why do we have to have porn on the homepage)

Does Servo count? It was originally a Mozilla project to write a web engine in Rust, then got transferred to The Linux Foundation when Mozilla laid off a bunch of its staff

i'm not sure. is really a small browser? to me it's falls more into the under construction browser category, like ladybird

Probably not a small browser, no. I just really wanted to plug it tho

makes sense
btw, servo's rendering of lemmy is getting really good. there's some missing stuff (and i couldn't get replying to work), but it's really cool to see
(though we can definitely discard servo as a small browser. it's eating up almost 700 megabytes of ram rn)

i took it for a spin also since i hadn't touched it in 20 years; the colors are indeed odd, as well as the scaling.

Best I can tell post blur, those posts are marked NSFW. You can choose to hide those posts. Assuming you're signed in anyway, I'm not familiar enough with that interface to tell.

Try old.lemmy.world or piefed, both I believe you can login with links2

Interesting! I'll have to give that a shot sometime.

Try https://piefed.social on lynx, I tried pretty hard to make it usable in a text-mode browser.

That's not the Dillo webpage anymore. There is a whole history behind this but the link is now this https://dillo-browser.github.io/
The dev was at FOSDEM a few weeks ago too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFJp8JDg8Yg
I think Dillo is a great project. The whole thing fits on a diskette. Crazy.

i was signed in, but it's still kinda fucked up that showing nsfw posts is opt-out. also, they're not even blurred in the old interface

They're not browsers, but if you want lemmy in the terminal there's Neon Modem Overdrive, which also handles Discourse forums and some other sites. For emacs there's lem.el.
