Elinks via Termux? /jk

For those that don't know, Elinks is a text only terminal browser.

While the jokes is appreciated, I'm also half-serious in considering just using Links/Elinks or w3m and just use whatever is the default browser on my OS for those cases where I need to book ticket or do banking.

I'm sadly falling out of love with the web. So much fun and enjoyment have left the web in the past 20 years and I don't enjoy or to some extend even benefit from the modern hellscape of modern commercial web.

I already do this a lot on my desktop. Running on of the FSF approved distros, I have three layers of browsers.

1. Links/Elinks for most stuff.

2. If that doesn't work, Trisquel Abrowser which is a privacy focused fork of Firefox.

3. If that doesn't work, Vivaldi browser in a sabdvox to get that Chromium conpatatibility.

Lol, nobody wants that.

Recommend Mull or something else sensible.

Edit: Whoopsy, oversaw your /jk

All good! That said I do like the genuine recommendation. Will look at that.
