After done fresh installations according to docs:
$ which browsh
usr/bin/browsh
when run, browsh || browsh --debug
- blank screen for few seconds
- Sorry I had to post a screenshot since I can't find a way to copy the error in text form
when run, browsh --http-server-mode
panic: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference
