Ask HN: What browser do you enjoy using for reading HN?

TranceWarp Eleventy with the NineBlazeUltra powerpatch.

They killed it for me with the RapidStratifier feature in version 0xde4d.98-alpha-LIX — the fact that it automatically activated unless you pressed Command + Ctrl + F13 every time was so annoying.

The great thing about the simplicity of HN is that it looks great in any browser. I just checked and its fine even with Links and NetSurf.

w3m used to be the go-to web browser for the CLI: whatever happened with that?

It's still there and it works quite well for HN because it can display the spacer gif, so you get indentation for the threads.

Monday, Wednesday, and Friday: Safari.

Tuesday and Thursday: Chrome.

Saturday: Lynx.

Sunday: Edge.

I can’t enjoy Firefox, it exacerbates my seasonal affective disorder.

I have a Google sheet tracking my daily browser on HN usage to my mood and other biometrics I can share if you like. Seven years of data.

Funny. I like.
