Minimalist or Alternative Browsers for Gemini and the Web

Video download link



Summary: A roundup of clients (or browsers) that can be used to access Techrights and other sites; we're still compatible with very old and rudimentary ones and we've expanded fully to Gemini, seeing that the Web is going in the wrong direction

THE choice of a Web browser (or Gemini client) is fast becoming a very important one. What's generally at stake is the future of pages on the Internet. As what actually matters (or what it practically boils down to) is pages with information in them, much of the time it should be possible to use bare-bones stuff and sufficient to rely on browsers that render the very basics (text for the most part).



"What's generally at stake is the future of pages on the Internet."The above video goes through some of the browsers I'm using or have considered using. Most of them were covered here before (in prior videos) and one future video will look at Netsurf in more depth. It turned 14 just 2 weeks ago and it runs on many systems, including RISC OS, AmigaOS 4, BeOS/Haiku, Atari TOS, AmigaOS 3, Caanoo, MorphOS, and Samsung TVs. There's also a "KolibriOS port in development," according to Wikipedia. Thankfully Techrights works fine with that browser. The same is true for FSF.org.
