‘Text-Only,' a Text-Only Browser for Android

‘Text-Only,' a Text-Only Browser for Android

Make like it's 1992 with the Text-Only browser. Back in the swirling mists of the last century, men were men, browsers were text-based and pictures were ASCII. Now you can relive those wild, Deadwood years of the Internet with Text-Only, a — you guessed it — text-only browser.
The free app is built for Android, but there's a web-based version so you can access it from any browser. And because the web today isn't really accessible by a text-only browser, it pulls some tricks.

Enter a URL and the app will return a list of articles on that page, without any adds, pop-ups, pictures or other cruft.
