I also would find an Android version really helpful. Will save a ton of data when roaming and will probably perform better in poor connectivity regions (only 2G and no 3G/4G). Would be great to know how to get this on an Android device.



As I said elsewhere in this discussion thread:

I tried it this morning (lineageOS). Got the arm binary from github, `chmod +x`-ed it on my computer and scp:ed it over to my phone. Ran the binary and got a quick flash of the screen and a `exit status 1` [in termux].

Have not looked into it more than that. Since `browsh` depends on headless firefox, which is not in the termux default repository (it seems), I guess it won't work because termux does not have access to the firefox system app, if that even shits with the headless-functionality. (but here I'm just guessing, a work around may be available)

Would be cool to see working though.


I haven't made it clear enough on the homepage or the docs, but Browsh isn't designed to run on your own local device, be it a laptop or smartphone. Browsh is best run remotely and then connected to through either SSH/Mosh or the HTTP in-browser service.
