I've been watching this one for a while, it's looking like it could become one of the best terminal-based browsers. The author is making a lot of progress. It could never replace Dillo, but that's a completely different use-case. -Alex

Very cool, I think they have some nice ideas for how to implement multiple protocols and mime handlers.

The second one was shot via XTerm and SSH too, but this time the remote was a headless Pi2 in my LAN:

If you want to bring remote HTML files to the machine where the screen is attached, you can use: - SSH local port forwarding + remote http an server like darkhttpd listening on localhost: % ssh -L 8080:localhost:8080 the.host darkhttpd /path/to/website & % dillo http://localhost:8080 - sshfs + file: % sshfs the.host:/path/to/website /mnt/web % dillo file:///mnt/web So you only need to transfer the HTML documents and images over SSH and moving around doesn't require a round-trip to the server. Best, Rodrigo.
