Carbonyl is a Chromium-based web browser that renders web pages directly inside a terminal, supporting nearly all Web APIs including WebGL, WebGPU, and audio/video playback. It starts in under a second, runs at 60 FPS, and works without a window server, including over SSH.
Use cases
- browse the web from the terminal
- render modern websites with JavaScript in a terminal
- use a browser over SSH without a window server
- play videos and view media in the terminal
- run a browser in a safe-mode console or headless environment
- convert HTML pages to SVG via the html2svg runtime
When to choose
- you need full modern web standards support (JS, WebGL, WebGPU, media) in a terminal
- you work primarily over SSH or without a display server
- you want faster, lighter terminal browsing than Browsh
- you need a headless Chromium runtime for rendering or automation
When to avoid
- you want Lynx-style optimized text-only layouts
- you need browser extension support
- you need fullscreen mode
- you want a lightweight browser that is easy to keep updated
