>Try Lynx or something similar.

- Links (faster), lynx (delays), retawq (needs a little patch, but it flies on a toaster), w3m, elinks.

Also, Gopher, gopher revival is the "new" teletext :D.

EDIT: in a similar vein:

gopher://magical.fish

gopher://mozz.us

gopher://hngopher.com

https://lite.cnn.io

https://text.npr.org

These will show up better in a text browser than in a graphical one. I tried them under retawq/links/lynx and everything it's crystal clear-readable and usable.

I'm surprised nobody mentioned Gemini yet. (Yes, Gemini is the new Gopher now.)

No, they are complementary. Gopher is useful for old devices with DOS, Minix, a ZX Spectrum... devices like those. Gemini is good for mobile phones as the screen shape varies a lot.

Most people in Gemini should provide their content in both formats. It's just a simple AWK script away with some help of fmt or par.
