 Unlike Gopher, it is TLS-native, meaning Gemini connections are encrypted & private. Gemini servers can also recognize unique visitor certificates & serve personalized custom responses, which is the Gemini equivalent of having user accounts. Gemini markup language is also cleaner & easier to read than Gopher's. It is slightly more advanced too, allowing the webmaster to use Markdown-style headings & code blocks to visually distinguish them from the rest of the page. These seemingly-minor extra features make Gemini a viable low-bandwidth & security-conscious alternative to normal websites.
-The Gemini ecosystem //(also known as **Geminispace**)// is relatively resistant to many common methods of browser fingerprinting, as well as ad beacons & advertising in general //(Though a server can still geolocate your IP if you are not on a VPN)//. This has made the Geminispace a popular niche destination for those looking for a simpler, more intentional, and less distracting internet.

 The slickest and easiest solution is to install [[https://gmi.skyjake.fi/lagrange/|Lagrange]]. It's fast, the interface is clean, and it's available for [[https://apps.apple.com/us/app/lagrange-smallnet-browser/id1554714615|iOS]], [[https://flathub.org/en/apps/fi.skyjake.Lagrange|Flatpak]], and a multitude of [[https://git.skyjake.fi/gemini/lagrange/releases|other platforms]]. Even better, it also supports the [[tools:gopher|Gopher]] & [[tools:finger|Finger]] protocols. This is useful because a lot of Gemini server operators also run Gopher & Finger servers. Having all three in one visually-pleasing browser is a great way to take in the ecosystem.
+[[https://kristall.random-projects.net/|Kristall]] is another popular Gemini browser with Gopher & Finger support.

+If you are using [[tools:bash|terminal]] you have quite a few options here: I'm not going to install all of these to compare them, so I dunno try them out for youself:

 ==== Browser Extensions ====
-You can install [[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/geminize/|browser extensions]] to haphazardly duct-tape Gemini support into your browser. If you don't want to install anything, you can use Circumlunar's [[https://portal.mozz.us/gemini/gemini.circumlunar.space/|Gemini Proxy]]. But I wouldn't recommend either of these options outside emergency use. The whole point of using Gemini is so that you can read plaintext articles without the mammoth memory footprint of modern web browsers. Dedicated Gemini apps are so much faster & smoother. Just install [[https://gmi.skyjake.fi/lagrange/|Lagrange]] and you'll see why people appreciate it.
