    Hi @calciumsodium,

    Yes, I do utilize the text based browsers also. But I still feel that a system is not really “usable” for the modern web without at least some modern GUI rendering. This is gettting harder for sure. And expectations have to be low. But I can usually move around the web with a GUI browser using SeaMonkey with NoScript. I can still do that on this machine but it takes a lot of patience. I was hopeful I could find another solution and it seems that Midori is it. I cannot use Badwolf since it appears to require SSE2.

    I’m always searching for the impossible browser. My problme is i’m not very good at programming and compiling so I need to find something alrea in a repo I can use. That limits my choices somewhat since not every possible browser that can be utilized on old equipmwent is in the repos for antiX.

    I like having links2 available. I can go all text or add the graphics. And I can use it either in the GUI (IceWM, etc.) or the Core system with the console and framebuffer only. It’s pretty cool.

    Thanks,
