Internet Browsing — Chol Ha-Moed

Question

I wanted to ask if it is permitted to browse the internet not for a purpose connected to the festival if I don't write anything?

Answer

Shalom and joyous holidays!
Every time you press a link you’re essentially writing a code of hundreds of characters, causing electronic connections. And there is no greater writing than this.
