In Org Social, we were talking about eww and its uses. What do you think about it on Mastodon? I mentioned in the thread that I use it for development, to view raw HTML and perform quick searches.

@andros eww is my go to browser for any new site (and ones I already know work well in eww). If I find that eww is not suitable for a particular site, I simply type '&' (bound to `eww-browse-with-external-browser`) to view the site in, for instance, firefox or vivaldi.

What I like about eww is that it doesn't have any scripting support so is inherently safer than many graphical browsers.

@ericsfraga Same for me. I have set browse-url-browser-function to a function that dispatches on the URL by simple pattern matching. Sites that I use frequently and that require JS are opened in the system browser (LibreWolf). Everything else is opened in eww.
