ELinks
ELinks is an advanced
and well-established feature-rich text mode web (HTTP/FTP/..) browser.
ELinks can render both frames and tables, it is highly customizable and
can be extended via Lua or Guile scripts.
Initially, ELinks was a development version of Links
(Lynx-like
text web browser), with more liberal features policy and
development style. Its purpose was to provide an alternative
to Links, and to test and tune various new features, but still provide
good rock-solid releases inside stable branches.
ELinks, on the contrary, aims to provide a full-featured web
browser, superior to both Lynx
and w3m and with the power (but not
slowness and memory usage) of Firefox,
Konqueror
and similar browsers.
