About:
edbrowse is a versatile command-line tool that combines a line editor with a full-featured web and email client. It operates in both interactive and scripted modes, making it ideal for automating web tasks and data scraping without a graphical interface. Its efficiency and scriptability make it a powerful utility for system administrators and power users.
Key Features:
  • Integrated line editor and web browser in one tool
  • Powerful scripting capabilities for automation
  • Headless operation for servers and remote sessions
  • Support for browsing, forms, and JavaScript execution
Use Cases:
  • Automating web-based workflows and data extraction from the command line
  • Managing email and browsing the web on headless servers via SSH
  • Batch processing of web pages and HTML manipulation
Alternatives:
  • lynx – Lynx is a purely text-based browser without a built-in editor or scripting engine.
  • curl – curl is for data transfer, while edbrowse provides an interactive environment for browsing and editing.
