browse-term

BrowseTerm

A minimal web browser for your terminal.

Installation

Prerequisites

• A Nerd Font (recommended)
• A Chromium browser installed (optional, for JavaScript execution)

Install with Go (Recommended)

Install the latest version with the Go CLI.

go install github.com/austin-weeks/browse-term@latest

Install a Pre-Built Binary

Alternatively, you can download a pre-built binary from releases.

Usage

Start BrowseTerm:

browse-term

See the help line at the bottom of the viewport for available keyboard navigation.

JavaScript Execution

By default, BrowseTerm uses Chromium to execute JavaScript on page load. This allows you to view content from sites that rely heavily on JavaScript for rendering the initial page.

You can disable JavaScript with the --no-js flag:

browse-term --no-js

Configuration

BrowseTerm can be configured via a yaml file.

On startup, it will look for a config file at ~/.config/browse-term/config.yaml

Example config.yaml

theme: catppuccin-mocha
