Text-based web browsing
Text-based web browsing involves viewing websites in a format that displays only text and simple symbols, without images, videos, or complex formatting. It is often used in environments with limited bandwidth or for accessibility purposes. Users navigate through links and menus using a keyboard or a basic interface, enabling access to information efficiently while minimizing data usage. This method relies on the core content of web pages, making it faster and more lightweight than standard browsing. Popular tools like text-based browsers (e.g., Lynx) facilitate this type of browsing by interpreting web pages into text-only versions.
