LO supports some macros.
Also, I use Lynx/Links+ (and a upgraded Netsurf) because of those JS pests.
So far I can:
- Use pleroma (Mastodon) from https://brutaldon.online.
Much faster than any JS bloated platform. Images are viewed externally from sxiv, nothing is lost.
- Search YT from Idiotbox and playing the video with mpv + youtube-dl.
- Read Medium/Tedium general news articles without bogging my CPU down. Links -g supports images.
- Comment here.
- For Reddit I use either TUIR or Gopher.
- I can avoid all malicious cookies too by setting a different config file for links and tunneling it thru torsocks.
For DOCX/XLSX files, you can use antiword/wv and convert the DOC/X file to RTF and then open it under Ted (a really lightweight WP), and sc-im plus gnuplot for spreadsheets. Much faster and secure.
On potentially malicious PDF's and PostScripts, convert them into DJVU and use DJView to read them.
