Hi,

Looking for a text browser with JS support.
Elinks is feeling outdated.
Any newer alternatives?

Thanks

Thanks.

The only recent option mentioned there is browsh which relies of firefox, so it's not lightweight.

Elinks is nice but hasn't been updated for a long time.

I'd just assume you don't want a GUI browser, because of your limited resources. The problem here is, though, that basically no browser, that is lightweight enough to run on such old hardware, support Javascript, because implementing JS takes a huge behemoth of a engine to work properly. The most minimal implementations of a browser, that works with current Javascript stuff, are Badwolf and Surf. The difference between Badwolf and Surf is very small, although it should be noted, that Badwolf has a button to not load JS, when not needed, unlike Surf, which's Javascript can only be disabled, in the source code.

On a side note:
There is browsh, a frontend for firefox, which renders everything in CLI, and therefor is not lightweight.
There is Dillo, graphical browser, that has no JS support and only very basic CSS support, but is graphical and actually lightweight.
And finally, there is NetSurf, which renders CSS mostly fine and very basic Javascript, and still maintains a good resource footprint.

Thanks.
Yes - as I've mentioned above browsh relies on FF so it's not lightweight,

I've tried NS & Dillo on multiple sites previously. Rendering was poor & most sites were broken. They don't seem to be actively maintained, though NS has a mailing list with occasional questions popping up.

Will look at badwolf.
