What is your favorite text browser?
I was curios what everyone likes to use while in text. I use text browsing a lot, I just rarely use it in these forums, because then it gets to a point where it's not useful. I like w3m myself, and for testing my web pages in text, I usally use Zen, because it is the fatest, although the most basic. Back when I used Windows, I'd often fire up Lynx.

Text mode, elinks is the only way to go.

Links, as it is the only one I've ever used extensively.

Lynx for me... I guess just because it was the first one I used therefore it feels like "home". I do also use elinks occasionally.

I use Lynx as well, probably since it was the first one I heard of. I don't use text browsing enough to bother comparing the different ones and finding a new one.

I've only ever used Links and Links2, so I really think my vote is a bit bias. I've only read things about w3m and it seems just as good as Links but I never tried it (adding that to my TODO list).
