Browsing is a major need these days. But this activity can spend the quota in a short time. This time I will share a tutorial on how to save internet quota while browsing.
Isn’t the data saving feature already in every browser application?
Yes indeed, but we will not use a browser application but a termux application.
How to browse on termux becomes a mainstay tutorial if the quota is critical, because of its advantages that can reduce data usage.
Here I will explain in detail.
How to browse on termux with 2 tools
These two tools have their respective advantages. Please choose the one that is easiest to use.
These tools are w3m and lynx. Both are tools that can be used to access the internet. So we will use it in termux application.
I will explain one by one, so you can understand better.
Here’s how to open the internet with w3m in termux
1. Install w3m tools on termux
Just type the following command to install w3m tools.
apt update && apt upgrade pkg install w3m
Wait until the installation process is complete.
2. Enter the address of the site you want to open
Termux is still being applied, please first determine what site you want to open.
For example google, then to open google can type the following command:
w3m https://google.com
3. Pay attention to the shortcut keys
When you have opened the internet on termux, you have to use shortcut keys to be able to browse properly.
First, minimize the termux display, pinch the screen until all the text is visible.
Use the touchscreen to move the cursor/pointer. And press enter to go to that menu.
Example :
When I open google in termux, to write in search, I have to click the search field and then press enter on the keyboard.
Then write anything, for example “how to browse on termux”.
Then hover the cursor/pointer to google search to display the searched result.
Next on the screen will display the results of the keywords you are looking for.
The point is use the touchscreen to move the cursor and enter to click.
Okay now we can use w3m, what about lynx?
How to use lynx for browsing on termux
It’s the same as w3m, just install the program and then enter the satus address. For more details, follow these steps:
1. Install lynx in termux
Write the following command:
pkg install lynx
Wait for the installation process to complete.
2. Type lynx + site address
Example: lynx https://omcyber.com
Then use the up and down arrows to move the cursor, or the quick way is to use the touch screen.
The rest is the same as using w3m tools.
w3m vs lynx?
Which is the best tool to open the internet on termux?
The answer depends on individual taste. I myself like to use lynx, because it looks more responsive (no need to shrink/expand).
But for some users, lynx is a bit confusing because the pointer is not very clear.
While w3m is easy to use, just point the pointer then enter. It’s just that it looks less responsive which causes users to dislike it.
Well, if you like to use which tools to browse on termux?
Write in the comments the answer and share it with other friends. Thank you.
