w3m is still the goat for quick lookups when you dont want to open a browser and lose 2gb of ram instantly. funny how we need forks of text browsers in 2026 just to keep the web readable. really like the addition of gemini support here...

definitely giving this a spin on my dev box later. the fact that it still uses a quilt patch series for dev is such a throwback tbh.

The quilt patch series comes from the time when I was basing my work on the Debian version, it was easier for me to follow upstream than rebasing branches.

Most patches are now merged into master, only some unfinished work is still in that series. I should update the docs.
