User base of #linux #terminal #graphical #webbrowser #brow6el asked if it would be possible to use it for preview of #html messages and attachments in #aerc mail client. Proof of concept of html pager for aerc is on its way.

when using #brow6el #linux #terminal #webbrowser in #kittyterminal (yes we now support kitty image protocol) the YT video is almost like in "normal" browser.

One if the significant missing features in #brow6el #linux #terminal #browser is ability to select and copy text. I am going implementing there something like vim visual mode and it is pretty pain in .. ehm challenging.

In how small window #brow6el can render, try this with other #browser. #linux #terminal #sixel

Wow, I’ve just tried #brow6el - a #sixel based terminal (!) web browser - on one of classic Polish portals, packed with ads and mashup JS/HTML. And it… works!

Sixel is an old (DEC times) but very clever protocol for displaying 6-bit graphics right in […]

Terminal-Based Web Browsing with Modern Conveniences Programmers hold to a wide spectrum of positions on software complexity, from the rare command-line purists to the much more common web app developers, and the two extremes rarely meet. …read more

It is time to start migrating my #oss code to #codeberg and why not to start with something funny and new. This is my toy project. Let me introduce #brow6el, very basic Linux terminal #webbrowser based on Chromium CEF with #sixel rendering. Yes you can have fully […]
