carbonyl

I don't think any of these text-based web browsers are actively maintained; "Show HN: Browsh – A modern, text-based browser" (2018) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17487552 browsh-org/browsh: A fully-modern text-based browser, rendering to TTY and browsers https://github.com/browsh-org/browsh "Forking Chrome to render in a terminal" (2023) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34547259 fathyb/carbonyl: Chromium running inside your terminal https://github.com/fathyb/carbonyl chawan: TUI Web Browser https://sr.ht/~bptato/chawan/ Ladybird browser may be easier to build a TUI terminal user interface for than other brothers because of Lagom FWIU (LibWeb and LibJs are already decoupled from the UI and rendering)

You asked for it… https://github.com/fathyb/carbonyl

browsh and carbonyl[0] are such lifesavers on airplane wifi. I find that carbonyl has even better chromium rendering than browsh. [0] https://github.com/fathyb/carbonyl

Carbonyl is still the goat https://github.com/fathyb/carbonyl

Carbonyl looked promising but unfortunately is not maintained anymore: https://github.com/fathyb/carbonyl

yeah very sad, had a tmux shortcut for quickly "googling" things.. However, https://www.startpage.com/ does not complain and supposedly sports the same search index.. For modern sites and if your terminal toolchain does not support sixel, https://github.com/fathyb/carbonyl is a neat hack that gives you a text-rendered blink engine, i.e. supporting all the same sites as those pesky GUI browsers. With sixel/kitty graphics, there was another option which slipped my mind.. [edit: maybe chawan as in sibling comment, but that also is "not supported" by google with the default user agent.]

https://github.com/fathyb/carbonyl should be perfect for this

I remember the carbonyl project to run chromium in the terminal that got me really excited (https://github.com/fathyb/carbonyl) but it eventually became unmaintained. This is pretty much that but supercharged. Definitely really cool to see. Good work!

I remember seeing something similar named Carbonyl a while back. What a coincidence lol. https://github.com/fathyb/carbonyl P.S. This is very cool btw.

I remember wanting to use carbonyl on some server so that I don't need to actually create a tunnel b/w 2 servers, start puppeeter in debug instance and open up a website and then hook it up using remote debugging in my ungoogled chromium. I really wanted something that could just work... Now that being said, the project was really cool. So it might come slightly off topic but when I had last viewed the project, there were a lot of people asking if the project is dead or more importantly, what has happened to author and there were comments like this after the job part and even hackernews showed concern of the dev's life https://github.com/fathyb/carbonyl/issues/201 [is the dev killed by IDF in Gaza #201]

Fun fact, this project helped the author get a job: https://github.com/fathyb/carbonyl/issues/162#issuecomment-1... Carbonyl is surprisingly performant and usable, especially with --zoom=300 --bitmap At lower resolutions, it would be nice to render images using a "subpixel" terminal rendering library like chafa (https://hpjansson.org/chafa/), or maybe sixels/kitty image protocol.

Thanks, always appreciate ways of not using another blink engine for a brief research side quest! looking forward to test after school ; ) As it hasn't been brought up yet, a really great hack (esp. for us without sixel) is this terminal port of chromium: https://github.com/fathyb/carbonyl .. but the original creator hasn't had time to get back to it. So it is very bare bones & lacks a lot of features, like keyboard shortcuts, file saving.. but obviously it brings full web compatibility and is just very cool. Wishing for someone with rust skills to pick it up again, last time I looked (couple of months ago) none of the forks had any momentum.

There is browsh, which uses Firefox underneath: https://github.com/browsh-org/browsh And looks like Carbonyl uses Chrome: https://github.com/fathyb/carbonyl

I would run this on VPS and use it via SSH: https://github.com/fathyb/carbonyl
