Text-Based Browsing
Text-based browsing refers to the use of web browsers that display only text, without images or multimedia elements. This method allows users to navigate the internet using simple commands or keyboard shortcuts, making it accessible for those with limited bandwidth or older hardware. Text-based browsers, like Lynx, are often used in environments where graphical interfaces are impractical.
This browsing style is particularly beneficial for individuals with visual impairments, as it can be paired with screen readers to convert text into speech. Additionally, text-based browsing can enhance focus by reducing distractions from visual content, allowing users to concentrate on the written information.
