Do you know which one? They are not all created equal, and many that I have used will only handle Discourse in read-only mode. `edbrowse` which I have used in the past for twitter has the best JS implementation of any text-based browser I know (it also has the worst interface for sighted people).

I just tried, and I cannot create an account on [try.discourse.org](http://try.discourse.org) or log into meta with `edbrowse`.

```plaintext
$ edbrowse https://meta.discourse.org/
122244
.
117
1,$p
<> <> <Log In secure>

Unfortunately, {your browser is too old to work on this site}.
Please {upgrade your browser}.

```

(People who have used `ed` on Unix will recognize the interface. For everyone else it’s opaque at best.)

I gather that many people use screen readers these days, which presents a much different interface, and one Discourse will probably work better with.
