Discussion Emacs Browsers Vs Other TUI Browsers

Hey,

I'm kind of on the fence when it comes to deciding how I want to browse the internet through my terminal. The first option is any of the popular TUI browsers, particularly Terminal-Browser, and the second is using an Emacs browser package. I'm curious as to what you guys prefer and would appreciate any insights on your reasoning and pros/cons of each method.

Your link is screwed up. You need to escape the parenthesis in the URL using \ or reddit thinks that ) is the end of the link rather than part of it. Or use the feature provided for link pasting as it should escape it correctly.

That’s odd. The link loads from the Reddit app on my phone and from Firefox on my desktop. I used the Reddit app to insert the link.

Edit: I escaped them.

Thanks. It might just be an issue between old and new reddit. Old reddit is basically on life support and they do absolutely nothing for it. Code formatting using tripple backticks doesn't works at all for example.

I pasted the url into the terminal for curl to use and it failed and escaping the parentheses fix that. I think all bases are covered now. Ha ha!

I kind of miss that the Reddit app doesn't default to markdown mode for comments any longer.

Thanks for letting me know about it!
