W3m is an obscure text-browser. A but like lynx, but better. Most of the web these days really requires you to use a full-fledged browser, with graphics and JavaScript and all that (and that's probably a good thing),
maybe i am a control-freak, but i want the ability to make an informed decision before (1) i run a particular javascript program or (2) view an image file. regarding (2), text browsers (somewhat ironically) let me pick just the pictures i want to see. regarding (1), i am curious why this functionality seems so hard to come by. if running a full-fledged web-browser does not enable me to make these decisions, i am inclined to think it is not such a good thing.
but quite a few pages still work when only displaying text.
those that do not, they frequently appear to be broken for reasons contrary to my interests. (like spying on me, obfuscating the location of files, etc.)
And it's damn fast.
