w3m can show images. You can use w3mimgdisplay to display images directly:
echo -e '2;3;\n0;1;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;./foo.png\n4;\n3;' | ./w3mimgdisplay
But they don't scroll and disappear with many actions, like changing working space.
Check out w3m. In my opinion, it's the best terminal-based web browser out there. It supports mulitple tabs and a whole lot more.
Also check out /r/w3m for setup and other related info.
i want to link a page that is reasoning critical against the use of amazon:
> https://stallman.org/amazon.html
this is not about the books you are recommending, it is about the way of purchasing/getting those.
i would recommend to look up the ISBN of those books and walk to your local book store. maybe, after a little chat, you can ask for an email address you could send those ISBN numbers to.
amazon is collecting massive amounts of data about you and shares those. be careful, they may even have a script running in the background saving the text you mark in your browser. (nobody has the time to check every single script. not all scripts are 'bad-actors') to be sure, that they do not collect data about you, you should run a no-script extension or maybe even use a text-based web browser (like w3m). if you are using an unix OS, it should be very easy to install via terminal (e.g. in ubuntu via sudo apt-get install w3m. but, yes, you sacrifice comfort for privacy.)
if you do not have the monzeys to buy books, there may be some *.pdfs or torrents to find ;)

Did someone take over this website? There's no information about the app; Just information about someone's finance business.
I think the official website is here.

W3M still doesn’t compare with desktop browsers. But, it does a great job while inside the Terminal.
If you have a machine with nginx, php and nodejs/npm>hgrep installed, you can make a site like this yourself. The following should work:
/yourwebroot/bash/rworldnews.sh
# make sure this file is executable
#!/bin/bash curl -s https://www.reddit.com/r/worldnews | hgrep -t ".sitetable a.title" | sed 's/^/■ /'
/yourwebroot/index.php
# shell_exec is probably dangerous on public internet servers
<html> <h1> NEWS </h1> <?php $output = shell_exec('sh bash/rworldnews.sh'); echo "<pre>$output</pre>"; ?></td> </html>
Basically, when you load the page, php uses the shell_exec call to run the bash script and returns the results. Using shell_exec on a publicly accessible internet server is probably not a good idea, but I have a little intranet server with no outside port 80 access that I use this on. You should be able to apply the above to any subreddit, and the general Idea to any site that has headlines basically. Bonus points for setting up a two-column grid with tables and adjusting line widths in your bash scripts by piping to "fold".
Quick edit: I highly recommend w3m as a textmode browser. It does a lot of modern stuff that you wouldn't typically expect. Install it and have a look at wikipedia.com for instance.
All site has text. A text base browser, will only show the text and not much of nothing else. Unless it's capable more than just text. w3m is the best I think. After you tweak it and add some feature's that it can do.

Ikr? Theres even .. this.
Including the stereotypical, plain html text-based page with .. absolutely nothing else.
For whatever reason a lot of "foss" project pages still look like that.
Ranger can be extended with w3m by editing your ~/.config/ranger/scope.sh
More on that here, just search the page for 'w3m' -- it should be the first result
I use Surfraw and all its various elvi all the damn time.
I was using this in terminal. Its in Ubuntu but im not sure if its in windows but if you use Ubuntu just type in terminal "w3m www.reddit.com" and it will take you to reddit and you can browse reddit in terminal, also you can search in google with is too "w3m www.google.com", its pretty handy to know if you work with Linux alot.
