A modern competitor to #OperaMini with:
- (optional) better #compression,
- (optional) #TUI / #TextBrowsing mode
- choice between different #proxies
- native #Tor, #IPFS & #Proxy Support
- Supporting #Android & #Linux
- Excellent #privacy features (only #allowlisted #Cookies and #JavaScript are being accepted!)
- Native #DarkReader-style integration to darkify or otherwise customize the output of the screen (i.e. print Amber / Green on black or Black on White for #eInk displays
- Can be used not just with a #touchscreen but also #Keypad and arrow keys.
Why?
- Because there needs to be more #competition that isn't yet another #Chromium-#Fork
- that is a good middle-ground between #Lynx and @torproject / #TorBrowser,
- Because @mozillaofficial / #Mozilla is fucking up #Firefox big time by wasting #money on anything but it as their core product...
OFC since #Opera #Mini needs a trustworthy proxy backend any "#clone" would need an #OpenSource'd & #SelfHosting-capable #backend (similar to @ActionRetro 's #FrogFind .com as it breaks #E2EE.
- Otherwise making the Browser just lie by not loading any #Multimedia contents like #images unless clicked may be another option chosen if one doesn't have a #Server to act as said #CompressionProxy / #PerformanceProxy in return...
Needless to say it would be a godsent for anyone stuck on #EDGEland and slower speeds (i.e. #SATCOM like #Iridium)...
