lynx and not w3m for text Web browsing?Both are great and I generally recommend beginners use w3m to get
started easily. But lynx provides customizations and functionality
that I prefer. The layout also makes better use of white-space when
laying out rendered Web pages. In short, w3m is easier and faster to
use for a beginner, but lynx is far more powerful and easy to read
when properly customized but is nearly useless with the default
configuration.
By the way, all the other text-based browsers are absolute, complete shit. Stay far away from them. (If you want details ask about any one in particular and I’ll add the reasons why for that specific one. I’d rather not even mention them to beginners.)
And no, I have no interest in seeing graphics or JavaScript in my text-based browser.
