Hacker News Reader

So I've been learning Emacs for a bit now and was just thinking about trying to figure out how to web browsing in emacs as a browser is the only other program I need right now. Gotta give this a try see how it works.

Make sure you also try Xwidget browsing, which has become my de factor browser while at work https://emacsnotes.wordpress.com/2018/08/18/why-a-minimal-br...

Is there any way to get Xwidget based browser apart from trying to compiling Emacs (for a Linux environment) ?

Also, if it's only available via the compile yourself route - how long does the compilation take in a 4-core Intel based system ?

Less than 30 minutes. Pretty simple to follow too.

It works badly in most cases. Hacker News and Google are at the limit of what's usable. For a very lose definition of limit.

It works well for documentation and general reading, especially if you press `R` to engage readability mode, that attemps to strip out all but the main body of text.
