Summary: Limiting ourselves to only a few sites and a handful of domains (Wikipedia, Tux Machines, Techrights, FSF and GNU), we’re taking a look at what it means to use NetSurf in an era of World Wide Web on ‘DRM steroids’ (Bloated/Wide Web which treats users/visitors like vicious enemies); a lot more could be shown and demonstrated but it’s limited to 15 minutes just to make a point, narrowing the focus to usage of RAM and number of open files
A FEW months back we showed how to get and then use NetSurf. For most Web pages it works just fine (maybe not self-styled “web apps” or so-called “online banks”) and it ought to be used by default by those who aren’t doing anything too fancy online. NetSurf is not so well known, so many consider it ‘esoteric’ or even daring to merely mention it. Let’s change that perception. Many Web browsers that are well known are mostly copies of one another; NetSurf is not.
The video above focuses on the vast difference in the management of resources; unlike Firefox and Chromium ‘clones’ (similar/overlapping codebase), NetSurf is reasonably compact (also roughly the same as some advanced Gemini clients) and it does not support all sorts of hostile things that you probably don’t want running on your machine anyway. █
