    Not to mention that this kind of browsers are one the safer: no download, no scripting, no ads, no popup bullshittery

I like w3m's colors when "browsing" web pages but haven't figured out how to use it further than that. Searching a website is very important too. Meanwhile, links2 works fine for browsing and searching. Thanks.

  5. Will watch this one over the weekend but had to click to just come give our friend a like to show support. Have gained so much from this channel. Thanks for all the work you put in Jay!
