Text-based browser
| Depends what you look for on the Internet.
Hollywood like, animated background, all in one page that scrolls infinitely, fade in fade out everywhere, contentless pages, full of words and saying nothing sites, they dont look too great. But there are a lot which are proper sites and look fine. Most of the time I look for information on Internet. I have met people who could not read a pdf to configure a switch, had short attention span and needed utube videos. I am not one of those.
| I can imagine Wikipedia or just Google working. But, places like, Wordpress blogs, Facebook, Tumblr? Github? Jisho.org?
| Obviously any image/video based sites will be pointless on a text/console browser. People who use those browsers don't use those sites, simple as that.
I can see how it can aid in a less distracting environment should you need to search for information while you're at work.
| Define „text based“.
I personally deactivated JavaScript and images are available a long time.
| I use lynx terminal browser for quick searches and when I want information fast. The only thing I open Firefox or Vivaldi for is media and email.
| A text based browser would be pretty intresting

| How's the 2018 internet looking from those browsers? I can't imagine using it casually, but there are plenty of you using it apparently?
