Ok, what #browser alternatives are out there?

currently I'm using #Firefox (despite Mozilla), but it is slow and seems to go down the AI drain.

#Chrome is out (don't need even worse spyware).

My requirements would be
- (Arch)Linux, Windows is optional
- Fast rendering
- Working AdBlocker!
- No phoning home
- Not run by racist/transphobic assholes!
- Regular security updates

Am I looking for Unobtainium here?

I just published v0.96 of #jSH. This is the 'little' text-mode brother to #DOjS.

- updated curl, mbedTLS, neural, SQLite, Watt32 to the current version of DOjS
- unified similar modules with DOjS for easier updates
- unified Makefiles
- updated documentation (beware of breaking changes)!
- ported IPX from DOjS to jSH
- ported PdfGen from DOjS to jSH

@dosnostalgic dunno the year. we had a user meeting of an Amiga BBS and people brought their PCs as well. They set up a coax network and started playing Doom.

I was blown away!
