Sacc(omys) is a terminal gopher client. It it written in C and meant to be simple, fast, and secure. It has no support for other protocols, however it will handle URIs and files that can't be opened natively by calling xdg-open.

Gopher is a simple protocol to retrieve hierarchical information. It is strongly oriented towards a menu-document design and presented an alternative to the World Wide Web in its early stages, but ultimately HTTP became the dominant protocol. Gopher is still in use by enthusiasts: a small population of actively-maintained servers remains.
