So I'm trying out edbrowse again. It's a bit more manageable now that
I've seen Ken Thompson's video[0] on ed. The help command inside
edbrowse has also been helpful. But, IMO, it's not the most
time-efficient browser. So why am I using it?

Javascript support. I know, I know. JS is often used for evil. I know.
But I'm pretty sure edbrowse's JS engine isn't capable of that much.
In fact, I tried accessing a few social media websites and they erred
out (I think it maybe can only handle vanilla, library-less JS). But
when I tried a personal site that used minimal, vanilla JS, it worked
as expected.

Another bonus is that it fetches and parses Gopher OK. The only issue
I'm having is item type 7, search, doesn't work. It goes to the
correct URL, but doesn't return results and I'm not sure why. Input in
edbrowse is quite different. You must go to certain line and for
non-textareas, you must specify the interactive element (input or
link) to use.

40i1=text will go to the 40th line's 1st input and set it to "text."
41i1* will go to the 41st line and "click" on the first input.

The problem that got me stuck before was using textareas. For them,
you MUST use a new buffer with a filename (f filename) that is
automatically created when you go to the correct line and use "ib"
(input buffer). Typing a single line with "." alone will exit insert
mode and bw will write the buffer to be used. I've only used it once,
but it worked.

It's actually truly interesting. Invidious has changed something about
their code... or maybe YT did, but recently I've been unable to
download YT in Lynx or Links2 from my preferred mirrors. I almost
always go for 360p video and audio, but in the past couple of days,
both the previous browsers error out. "Normal" browsers like Vivaldi
work just fine. Edbrowse works just fine. It's so weird.

But as for the browser, I don't recommend it for beginners. It's also
both more and less secure than a conventional browser. It's more
secure because you only print the parts of the page you want (like in
a police state where people judge you on your browser history). Also
any normie is going to be totally lost. Even the help requires you to
know the basic print command to be usable. However it's less secure
because entering your password is a plain-text command (i3=password).
So your password will be visible until it scrolls off or is cleared
from the screen.
