Hello, Ivan, I would recommend You browse the browsers named elinks, lynx and links, the latter being installed with the X11 (or so) package on Void Linux. The first two C, if I recall correctly. These are TTY-only and do not support JavaScript or any media files, so code base should be a tad shorter. Additionally I suggest using the plugin named uBlock Origin. It allows connecting to first and third party sites or not, and further.
