    If it was it would be useless since almost 100% does not support it. Big US corporations are setting the standards based on their business requirements and they don’t care about what people think. The web today is almost fully controlled by US oligoarchs

    1 Overview

    EWW, the Emacs Web Wowser, is a web browser for GNU Emacs that provides a simple, no-frills experience that focuses on readability. It loads, parses, and displays web pages using shr.el. It can display images inline, if Emacs was built with image support, but there is no support for CSS or JavaScript.

    To use EWW, you need to use an Emacs built with libxml2 support.

      If you made a browser run lisp, it would only be useful for web pages that are scripted with lisp. Most web sites are currently scripted in JavaScript. Adding lisp support to a browser is the easy part. It’s like deciding Latin is a better language then English, and then learning it. If you then came here and started using only Latin, it probably wouldn’t be very satisfying.
