KRNL is a terminal-based browser that renders the web with user-defined typography and colors, stripping away images for a quiet, text-focused experience. It supports modern web features like JavaScript, file uploads, and multiple tabs via SSH, with optional self-hosting for advanced capabilities. The project is interesting for its minimalist approach to web browsing and its use of terminal interfaces to reduce visual noise.
