It seems to do a better job of rendering the pages I\'ve visited and the interface (such as it is) was more intuitive. Then again, I think it was also my first, so that may have biased me towards it. </p> I\’ve used w3m, lynx, and elinks, and prefer w3m to those others.

g goes to the top of the document like Vim, it doesn\’t open a url prompt like links

U opens a url prompt

v switches your view (from source to rendered), it doesn\’t let you look at your bookmarks

ESC-a adds a bookmark

ESC-b lets you see your bookmarks

As far as which is better. Well, they\’re all good at different things, so the \”better\” browser depends on what you\’re doing.

I am very much happy that I bumped into this blog. I have never known about text mode browsers all this while. I was very curious about how different a text-mode editor is, so I downloaded and installed the W3M. It is absolutely a different league all together. I totally agree with Joe as I really felt W3M very interesting for the moment. I am very impressed with faster HTML to text conversion through this.
