From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

please dump any small browsers you know about, i'd like to try them out
the two i can think of are emacs's eww and links (text mode). eww has been surprisingly useful, even without js support and extremely barebones html rendering
this is eww:
and this is links:
sadly, neither is able to login to lemmy, but I was able to login to mastodon through brutaldon
EDIT: ooh, i forgot about lynx (not links). also command-line. it managed to successfully login to lemmy:
Does Servo count? It was originally a Mozilla project to write a web engine in Rust, then got transferred to The Linux Foundation when Mozilla laid off a bunch of its staff
i'm not sure. is really a small browser? to me it's falls more into the under construction browser category, like ladybird
Probably not a small browser, no. I just really wanted to plug it tho
makes sense
btw, servo's rendering of lemmy is getting really good. there's some missing stuff (and i couldn't get replying to work), but it's really cool to see
(though we can definitely discard servo as a small browser. it's eating up almost 700 megabytes of ram rn, compared to netsurf's 100 megs)
