And concerning size:
ls -l /usr/bin/{lynx,elinks}
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 933972 24. Okt 15:56 /usr/bin/elinks
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1286964 6. Jun 2011 /usr/bin/lynx
Plus, if you need it, elinks provides a number of other goodies like support
for bittorrent or samba.

w3m,links and elinks. w3m and links as they support displaying images under framebuffer, and elinks for it's javascript support. If you don't need these features, any text browser is good for browsing html documentation :) On 9 December 2011 11:38, Pandu Poluan pa...@poluan.info wrote: As the subject says: Which text browser do you recommend?

If you don't need these features, any text browser is good for browsing html documentation :) Seconded. In addition, if you ever need to read East Asian characters, there is a good extension to w3m called w3mmee which supports multibyte encoding formats (stuff like Big5, euc-JP etc).

Lynx is small but efficient, I think it is totally enough for your demand, :-) Another vote for lynx here, though I also have to have elinks for those times lynx is too bare bones. The javascript and tabs do come in handy sometimes, but lynx is faster, prettier, and renders most sites well enough. -- caveat utilitor ♫ ❤ ♫ ❤ ♫ ❤ ♫ ❤
