From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I found this browser very limited when I tried an older version, not sure if it even supports https yet. My favorite of the very lightweight browsers is Links 2, which can be useful sometimes.

Yeah, I can tell from the look and features. *scnr*

What's the use case for that browser? Daily-driving it to browse the web likely not, right?
