BRO is the standard web browser.

The BRO web browser is extremely minimal. It is for reading the internet, as text. If you want to see an image, you must download and then view it with feh (or whatever image viewer your system provides). Any concerns other than reading the internet as text are to be handled by external, standalone utilities.

BRO supports the http, https, gopher, and file schemes right now. It's not super good at determining filetype in its current state, so gopher links to text files without a .txt extension may get handled as gopher pages. I hope to fix this later, by building out the URI multiplexer a bit more.

There are some features which are not yet implemented. Most painfully, forms. So for now you'll have to manually send your http GET or POST request with its query parameters or body value. It's rather tricky, to cleanly separate the concern of "filling out forms" for example, but I have some ideas on how I might achieve this.

If you want to try it, here's an early dump of the source code: blurfl. GPLv3 licensed for now. I haven't really figured out how to fit it well into git, I've just not been vibing with git lately... Might do a project about it at some point soon, we'll see.

I worked really hard on it, so if you try it out I would super appreciate any feedback! Email me at my email address. I'd put a mailto link except I'd get inundated with spam if I did. :P
