| <midfavila> | does anyone here know of a text-mode browser that supports libtls? |
| <midfavila> | i've looked at all the usual suspects and they all demand libre or open |
| <midfavila> | at this point the only thing preventing me from replacing libre with bear is a browser... |
| <sad_plan> | midfavila: netsurf? on oasis atleast, it doesnt even use libressl |
| <midfavila> | yeah, i did see that, but doesn't netsurf only run on the framebuffer without a display server? |
| <midfavila> | i'm hoping i can be a chooser and get something curses-like |
| <midfavila> | since some of my devices don't have displays that match the orientation of their framebuffer |
| <sad_plan> | netsurf can run on frambebuffer too, correct |
| <sad_plan> | it can use gtk aswell afaik. not sure what else. |
| <sad_plan> | oh, and wayland obviously, seeing as oasis uses wayland |
| <midfavila> | yeah... |
| <midfavila> | like i said, i'm looking for curses, ideally |
| <sad_plan> | although I think thats somewhat from mcf's patches. |
| <sad_plan> | I suspected as much |
| <midfavila> | if i knew more about C i would just patch links to use libtls tbh |
| <midfavila> | probably do some other stuff to links while i was at it >.> |

| <midfavila> | ;w; |
| <sad_plan> | great. how about w3m? or just lynx |
| <midfavila> | lynx is bleaaagh and w3m drags in boehm |
| <midfavila> | i'm trying to avoid dragging in extra dependencies while keeping the system relatively small |
| <sad_plan> | hm, doesnt links allow you to.. disable ssl altogether? |
| <midfavila> | well, individual software relatively small, anyway |
| <midfavila> | and yeah i think so but that kind of defeats the purpose |
| <sad_plan> | thats great and all, but its not always realistic to do so :p |
| <sad_plan> | lynx doesnt really require much, but still uses libressl though.. |
| <sad_plan> | I get that |
| <midfavila> | youre talking to someone who unironically intends to replace a smartphone with a risc-v handheld with no upstream vendor support |
| <midfavila> | realism is just another construct |
| * midfavila | huff-huffs |
| <midfavila> | but tbh if i don't find something off the shelf i probably will just try to patch links2 |
| <sad_plan> | lol. how about elinks? |
| <midfavila> | unmaintained and clunky |
| <midfavila> | i found a few really tiny web browsers that were put out in the mid '00s that were honestly pretty neat but they were also only half complete |
| <thomas_adam> | Chawan looks good, but it's not using libtls. (I'm not sure why one would care...) |
| <midfavila> | o |
| <midfavila> | i'm just finnicky |
| <midfavila> | no real technical reason |
| <sad_plan> | see this one instead https://github.com/rkd77/elinks its maintained. although not sure how less clunky it is |
| <midfavila> | oh huh |
| <midfavila> | neat |
