Alternatives to Browsh
Browse modern web pages through a terminal interface. The listings below can replace it for an important use case. Each note says what changes if you switch.
The original
Browsh
Browse modern web pages through a terminal interface.
Replacements
Listings that take over the same core job as Browsh.
Lynx
Text-mode web browser for terminals and remote systems.
Lynx runs in any terminal including bare SSH sessions without a Firefox backend, but it has no JavaScript, CSS or images, so most modern sites are unusable.
Links
Small browser that runs either as text in a terminal or in a basic graphics mode.
Links needs no Firefox backend and renders tables and frames in text mode, plus a basic graphics mode, but lacks JavaScript, so most modern sites fail.
Similar software

Keyboard-first browser configured and extended in Common Lisp.
qutebrowser
A keyboard-driven browser with vim-style bindings and almost no interface to click on.
