@poetgrant i hope i find a better way to browse the web; i've at least switched from video sites to youtube-dl and mpv, but there's still a bunch of other standalone programs that need to be made in order to avoid a full javascript virtual machineidk what your browsing habits are but maybe you could offset it a bit using a text browser of some sort

@wowaname @poetgrant Their code's such a mess that it's nigh-impossible to get their mobile version to compile and run on a desktop system, but I think running B2G in a VM might actually be doable.

@wowanameWell, slackbuilds.org is fine... but open 2 tabs? Forget it! I have an old quad core amd processor and 4gbs of RAM... with 2 tabs firefox eats 1.5g of RAM and 2 of my cores. I hate firefox. I have always hated it, but I can't trust chromium with the last few updates. What else is there? Epiphany? Maybe so.

@poetgrant there's qutebrowser but it isn't exactly light on resources either. it's webkit-based so you could give it a try

@poetgrant @wowaname lynx or elinks. Switch to Mindori, Qute, Suckless, Iridium whatever when you need to run a non W3C standard compliant site.

@poetgrant @wowaname the problem isn’t the browsers, though the selection is pretty bad, as much as the web, which employs so many insecure, unoptimized frameworks unnecessarily, and is too retarded to follow basic W3C accessibility standards to function on well designed browsers. Including this site, which uses non-extensible JS (aka breaks without it). It should be illegal.

@poetgrant Brave browser is built on top of Chromium but with additional privacy features out of the box if that's what you mean by not trusting Chromium. https://brave.com/

@textplanes @poetgrant Brave is spyware:https://spyware.neocities.org/articles/brave.htmlMarketing to normies as private isn’t that same as actually being private. They literally inject their own ads into the web.

@poetgrant I am assuming the good folks at #mozilla are not in cahoots with chip makers as $MS, but wouldn't be surprised if they are badly infected by featuritis - like every developer since ENIAC

@ataraxia937 @textplanes @wowaname @grumpy_developer@poetgrantQutebrowser & Falkon are light used in qt5 environmentsPossibly SeaMonkey for GTK (it reminds me of FF about 7 years ago) Then there is netsurf and dillo (BTW there was a framebuffer no X version of netsurf at one point..)Dont forget w3m

@jasonWhat engine does Falkon use? I have always wanted to try it long term.Also, what kind of psychological trauma do I have? Why do I have a kneejerk reaction to hate Qt?@textplanes @ataraxia937 @grumpy_developer @wowaname

@poetgrantFalkon uses qtwebengine[0] from the project page:"Qt WebEngine uses code from the Chromium project. However, it is not containing all of Chrome/Chromium:Binary files are stripped outAuxiliary services that talk to Google platforms are stripped outThe codebase is modularized to allow use of system libraries like OpenSSLWe do update to the latest Chromium version in use before a Qt release. After a release some bug fixes and security patches are backported. For LTS releases of Qt we might also update Chromium in a patch level release."I suspect your dislike of qt stems from a pathological need to be wrong 😁[0] https://wiki.qt.io/QtWebEngine@wowaname @grumpy_developer @ataraxia937 @textplanes

@bamficI use Qutebrowser (primary) and Falkon (secondary) as my main browsers they are activly maintained I use w3m frequently its a stable text browser with graphical ability Netsurf and dillo less so (they need dev attention I think) SeaMonkey worked ok when I last tried it @poetgrant @wowaname @grumpy_developer @ataraxia937 @textplanes @technomancy
