More than that: it's a full browser that doesn't share any of the system browser libraries (using it's own browser engine) and also NodeJS. You can often save almost ~300-500 megabytes by switching to something like Tauri (even Tauri+NodeJS) that uses the system's own browser framework.

Lynx is a "full browser" in the same way that Emacs is a "full word processor."

... EMACS is a full word processor? It's a bit spartan in terms of how the interface feels, but functionally it's a lot better than what modern writers get given in vibecoded packages
