[BRLTTY] Is there a feature-compatible text-based browser

[kperry at blinksoft.com]

It might be nice to have multiple navigation modes maybea  W3, Lynx, and something new that deals more with dynamic or other modes.  Then having switchable background between things lik webkit, chromium and firefox.

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.
