Lightweight web browsers

No, its not Chrome or Safari, im talking about lightweight, and when im talking about lightweight forget rich and fancy GUI stuff.


  • Links2: good
  • Lynx: a bit outdated
  • w3m: hmm what to say about this one? emacs users maybe...
  • Elinks: nice

One of them support regular expressions, that one is really nice. ;)

The others?

hmmm, the developers are walking a bit slow in some projects, but, anyway there are few people
in this world that can see the amount of interfaces that we could use to control a browser or say anything else, the pure text is nice some times, the markup language for example, say SSML
that's not only for disabled people, who say that is the "disabled one" IMHO.


Note, i like beautiful GUI like Apple ones, but i think that the information on the web(ok the filtered one) is much more beautiful than any GUI.
