uh have you tried xydfgq-blurble browser it's my home brew fork of chromium and firefox i call it "chromefox" which is also my fursona

thinking of changing the name to something lighthearted, marketable and non-objectionable like "GNU-Scrotum"

i am the only maintainer and i keep up with 110% of security issues

we are not in the android store as the oppressive statists at google said that if i ever switched on this uh "piece of shit" in a built up area theyd cut my nuts off, but

ignore the FUD about chromefox spilling your bank account and leaking your tastes in hentai and fucking your cat it's all LIES FILTHY LIES by THAT BITCH ANDREW he is SUCH an asshole

I just curl pages and render it all in my head. It's easy with my 10 Morbillion IQ

the only reasonable way to interact with the web is to write a shell script that mails the source to each page you try to view to the 2001 laptop you insist on using even in spite of freer modern options, I said, reaching for delicious foot skin to chew

@swlabr @dgerard curl? Coward. I wrote my own client using awk, head and date

Lmao look at this chud actually trusting awk, head and date

@morrowind I created my own binaries by flipping the switches on the front of a PDP-11 though, I don't trust gcc, and neither should you

flipping the switches on the front of a PDP-11

lmao, look at this chud actually trusting random hardware. I only use custom designed, hand made (by me!) computers which I flip switches on to program. I also mine the materials myself, and went back in time to make make sure they were acceptable before being created in a star or something.
