    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:

    emacs window with eww displaying linux@l.ml's header

    and this is links:

    terminal window with links displaying linux@l.ml's header

    sadly, neither is able to login to lemmy, but I was able to login to mastodon through brutaldon

    Lynx

    It's the best by far. The configuration can be tricky, but it worth it.

              Same for me. It's frustrating to not see this one get more popularity.

                    I'm... not sure, I'd have to look that up. I only know that it was the only browser I found in my Linux distro repos that I was able to run on my Atom 2GB RAM netbook from 15 years ago.

                        Qutebrowser is small in market share but not in resource use.

                                  IIRC the Windows version of Midori was the only browser that was light enough to watch Netflix on my ~2005 laptop.

                                        Have a look at Luakit (but please don’t try to configure it – this is absurd!)

                                          Used Webkit until 2019, then bought out and now based on Firefox/Gecko.
