Do y'all know about textise? I don't see mention of it come up in a quick search. https://www.textise.net/

It can be used with the duckduckgo bang !textise

It also works over Tor, where I can use it as a proxy to avoid Cloudflare checkpoints.

I don't think that it is open source but not completely sure.

Copy from the site intro:

Textise is a new way of looking at the Web. It’s an internet tool that removes everything from a web page except for its text. In practice, this means that images, forms, scripts, adverts, they all go, leaving plain text. Find out more here... (https://textise.wordpress.com/about-textise/)

How to use this page

Type or paste the URL of a web page into the box below and click "Textise". A text only version of the web page will be displayed.

Oh, by the way, text-only browsers are still a thing.

You might want to look at links and/or lynx and see if they cover your usecase.

I was just thinking... "this isn't new, this is 2 decades old and called lynx " lol

edit: over 3 decades. the first version of lynx was released in 1992.

I've used it on Linux but I'm sure it can be used on Windows via WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux).

The oldest browser still being maintained, in fact.
