1 ### [Ebrowser](https://github.com/torappinfo/ebrowser): keyboard-friendly minimal suckless web browser
2 Ebrowser is designed with the philosophy of [Android uweb browser](https://github.com/torappinfo/uweb) ([gitlab](https://gitlab.com/jamesfengcao/uweb)).
4 - lightweight (less than 20k bytes) without bundled electron.
5 - much less memory footprint than edge/chrome browser and highly performant.
6 - keyboard friendly with vim-style keymaps and command line support in address bar.
7 - global redirection to bypass censorship.
8 - user scripts at will. Ex. pressing "tr" to translate the page (need mapkeys.json config).
11 Note: Usually electron apps are heavyweight as they use browsers for simple things. Ebrowser uses core chromium effectively and very lightweight. Recommend to install electron separately.
