Hello,
A text-based browser is an important software on BSD.
At engineer school, we used w3m as the regular text-based WWW browser (maybe about 20 years ago). Links was not so much employed at school yet. At that time, a similar application was the famous text-based browser Lynx. I remember that netscape with graphical applications was fairly sufficient to browse the web.
I just rediscover w3m, which is actually pretty cool. So, here a first list:
What is your favorite text-based WWW browser?
I wish you a pleasant day.
Kind regards

At school, the cool thing was to ssh under icewm to a distant machine. The machines were quite slow at that time, and KDE was not possible. There was icewm on all workstation. We could write our reports together, this on a same documents and locally on the distant machine. We browsed the web with w3m, get information, and write further, this just over ssh.

- lynx (oldest and great)
- fm
- w3m
- links
- elinks (advanced, reliable, fast and so on)
- links (text and graphical for X11)
