Show HN: Browsh – A modern, text-based browser

I've had the idea to make a webextension that transparently proxies all top-level URL bar requests to html.brow.sh, that way you can click on links in other applications that open in your browser and instantly get the Browsh version. I think it could a fantastic resource for those in the world that have slow and/or expensive internet.

First though I really need to improve html.brow.sh

I wonder if it would be a benefit for EU people who just want to read the site and not get a modal that tells them if they don't accept privacy invasions you can't read the page.

I'm getting tired of writing down GDPR violations to report.

But then I wonder if Browsh would come under some violation for doing so?

I don't see how you would end up in a GDPR violation scenario for doing it. I suppose the more likely scenario would be Company X wanting people to agree to give up data, and make it hard to access site without giving up data, but browsh makes it easy. So then the company complains that browsh is essentially enabling theft of their resources, I don't think that will work very well though.
