Consequently, given that https://man.openbsd.org/?query=browser&apropos=1 redirects to https://man.openbsd.org/man1/viewres.1 "graphical class browser for Xt" you can quite safely conclude from that authoritative source that the current OpenBSD base system does not include a web browser. [Note to self: i have to make the URI syntax of that site more user-friendly, maybe something like https://man.openbsd.org/-k/browser Sigh, so much interesting work to do all over the place.] By the way, OpenBSD is arguably the system that requires the least amount of web searching. It is almost always faster to look only at 1. the manual pages 2. the FAQ, https://www.openbsd.org/faq/ 3. and /usr/local/share/doc/pkg-readmes/ with the extra benefit of getting authoritative, and only authoritative, information. > $ grep _flags /etc/rc.conf | cut -d '_' -f 1 Not very good advice, that command only produces a list of some daemon programs that come with the base system, but a web browser is typically not a daemon, however devilish it may look. Notably, four of the base system programs that i occasionally use for browsing the web do not show up in that list: https://man.openbsd.org/ftp.1 https://man.openbsd.org/telnet.1 https://man.openbsd.org/nc.1 https://man.openbsd.org/openssl.1 > There will always be `Terms' involved with any level of social > interaction. Maybe, even though i rarely think in terms of "terms" when interacting with my friends. The only - admittedly rather strained - idea i manage to come up with for bringing a discussion of "terms" back on topic is pointing out how infrequently OpenBSD terms of use change: https://cvsweb.openbsd.org/src/share/misc/license.template Three versions in twenty years. Neither of the two changes actually changed any part of the conditions. The first change fixed a typo in a comment. The second changed the placeholder for the Copyright year from CCYY to YYYY. Oh, and the total length of the "terms" is 25 lines, 192 words, 1123 bytes, including historical information, instructions for developers how to apply the terms to their code, and a lengthy warranty disclaimer. The actual terms consist of 3 lines, 33 words, 207 bytes. So much for "terms" and for changing them. Yours, Ingo
