Netsurf is simple web browser able to run in the linux framebuffer (ctrl+alt+f1). I tried it (2021-11-06) in debian bullseye and it is not usable, the screen is refreshed when switching to another console.

To install it in Debian Buster, follow instruction in

quick-start

or run these commands:

wget https://git.netsurf-browser.org/netsurf.git/plain/docs/env.sh
unset HOST
source env.sh
sudo apt-get update
ns-package-install
ns-clone
ns-pull-install
rm env.sh
cd ~/dev-netsurf/workspace
source env.sh
cd netsurf
make TARGET=framebuffer

Add your user to these groups: `audio`, `video` and `input`:

sudo adduser <user> input

Log out and log in again, then start netsurf and select your screen resolution:

cd ~/dev-netsurf/workspace/netsurf
./nsfb -w 3000 -h 2000 https://noulin.net

To quit, click the cross on the top right corner.
