I would stay away from Google browsers for security reasons, but I don't know if Firefox is any better in reality. Web safety requires disabling JavaScript which then defeats the whole purpose of a modern browser. PlayWright might be a good way to interface with the browser. It allows choosing the backe-nd browser. > It would use Python as a front end, and it would be configurable. This is a good idea. I would suggest using notcurses (or something else written in C) as a terminal access library. I have used prompt-toolkit in a personal project and my experience is that it is slow, even in IPython. > It sounds like Nickolas already has a start on a firefox one, but I am not > a fan of the Lynx interface.

Also I want to note that using a modern browser through a HTTP proxy is going to be very challenging if one wants to use any form of dynamic pages, especially SPAs (Single page applications). Unfortunately web is nowadays full of SPAs written using different JS libraries. These absolutely require dynamic rendering of the page contents. I wonder how Lynx could send single key events to pages and rerender them as the page contents change based on input events. -- Aura _______________________________________________ This message was sent via the BRLTTY mailing list.
