  • Curl is very low level. It will let you download things but won’t display it to you in any really useful way. It is intended to be used by other applications.

    If you’re looking to use it to browse websites using the terminal, you need something that uses curl in the background but displays anything you download to you in a sensible way. Two such applications are lynx and links2. These will run in your terminal.

    However you may not have much fun browsing facebook or anything modern. A lot of websites require javascript, which lynx or links2 will have trouble understanding.
