Anyone know any good terminal based browsers? Browsing hexbear on the CMD line would make me feel really cool.

I'm just cracking up at all the people who were OMG HOW COULD YOU POSSIBLY USE CHROME WHEN FIREFOX EXISTS THEY WILL NEVER DO ANYTHING UNETHICAL as if basically every company won't eventually sell all your data anyway. I can appreciate trying to use the Internet while keeping your personal data safe but it's also a completely unrealistic pipe dream. You can do all the open source homegrown browsers and websites with no script and ad block on a homegrown OS and you're still going to be tracked. Your ISP knows what you're doing, or your VPN does, and it's a dream to think they won't or aren't using your data for something nefarious. Your phone certainly is. Your bank is. Your social media is. Your deviantart or Etsy account is. You name it someone somewhere somehow is tracking you in ways you aren't even considering.

If you don't want to be tracked don't use the Internet. It's just so ridiculous when folks who live under the immense yoke of capitalism pretend like you can magically will yourself out of it by making a personal choice like using a different browser.

I'm gonna get flamed to hell by this post but I really don't care because you know I'm right. You aren't protecting your identity from capitalist exploitation by using Linux or an open source browser. There are certainly plenty of other reasons to do so but that ain't it.

With internet use becoming more and more mandatory in modern society, what choice do we have? Obviously communist revolution is the long term solution, but I don't know what we can do besides take steps to mitigate the worst effects in the meantime.
