Don't get me wrong. Appreciate the project and effort. Well done and amazing. But the only time I use a text based browser is when I have very very bad connection (which happened once or twice e.g. in an airplane). But would be better for comparing links2 vs. mosh+remote browsh. Nevertheless I don't want to keep running some vm (even when it's small) just for my very seldom text browser sessions ;)

I will keep browsh in mind when I'm again on some remote island. Could be a no brainer to install adhoc on a remote vm then.




For sure, I totally agree with this. The fact is I don't even use Browsh that much as I have the luxury of fast and cheap Internet.

But I have certainly experienced bad internet and felt that craving to be connected to the modern web, which is so hard when all you have is a 3kb/s connection.

So that is what Browsh is for, those people of the world, and there millions, who have slow and/or expensive internet.
