    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.

    oh, cool! this is the best render of (old) lemmy so far

    lemmy's homepage on netsurf

    (p.s. why do we have to have porn on the homepage)

      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

      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

            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

            the current thread rendered in servo

            (though we can definitely discard servo as a small browser. it's eating up almost 700 megabytes of ram rn)

              cool. weird default colors, though

              dillo displaying this post and the comment i'm replying to

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

              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

                        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.

                                        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.
