Hv3 and the art of minimalist web-browsing
,----[ Quote ]
| Even if you appreciate full-featured applications like
| OpenOffice.org, Firefox, or GNOME, minimalist replacements
| have a fascination all their own. Not only are minimalist
| applications a throwback to the original traditions of
| Unix-like operating systems, but their emphasis on
| efficiency at the expense of extra features can force you
| to re-evaluate your computing needs. A case in point is
| Hv3, a web browser written in Tcl/Tk. Although currently in
| alpha and paying more attention to developers' needs than
| those of end users, Hv3 is already highly suitable for
| basic web-browsing, with a design philosophy all its own --
| and, quite possibly, the fastest performance of any free
| software browser.
