This is just my life. I have an old netbook running openbsd. It can do netsurf and email just fine when I'm on the go, I have my vita for any media I want to experience on the go, and for anything more intense than viewing a simple website, email/chat, or the occasional perl script, I shell into my home computer

Try yt-dlp+streamlink.

YT-DLP config:

    #at ~/.config/yt-dp/config

    --format "best[height<=480]"

MPV config:

#~/.config/mpv/config

    ytdl-format=bestvideo[height<=?480][fps<=?30]+bestaudio/best
     vo=xv
     audio-pitch-correction=no
     quiet=yes
    pause=no
    vd-lavc-skiploopfilter=all

Dillo (from git) has worse CSS capabilities than netsurf but more than often the webs aren't broken as often as NetSurf.

On the rest, get MuPDF, nsxiv for images, maybe xfe for files, mutt/sylpheed for email...

What was the point of this comment? Yeah this is pretty much how I use my computer. I use netsurf because I can use it in the framebuffer. I use mg for text editing and file browsing (using dired), chat using ircii, and email with elm. I don't really do much that can't be done without a GUI, so I rarely use X for anything other than forwarding something from my main computer over ssh
