I'm not one to use text-based browsers, usually due to their outdated
HTML support and keyboard interface inconsistencies. But I must say that
w3m has a much better interface than does Lynx. The key is that w3m
already opens any page it sees in much the same way as a text editor, so
it is very easy to arrow up and down line by line or left and write by
characters or words, and the tab key also works as expected. I think the
only thing I would miss is navigation by headers, buttons, fields, etc,
as I can do with Orca. Other than that though, dumping Firefox or
Chromium into w3m's interface somehow would be a much nicer solution
than dumping it into Lynx I think.
