Elinks : the best text-based web browser

If you like to browse the internet, and suddenly have to work in a text-based only environment, then I suggest that you use the Elinks web browser.

It is the best text-based web browser i ever used besides the infamous lynx. I has features that can be found in other GUI-based popular browser like :

• Table and frames rendering
• Tabbed Browsing
• IPV6 support
• CSS support
• Javascript support
• Colour support
• Support http, https, ftp and smb protocol
• History browsing

With these kind of features, I dont think you will miss browsing from a GUI based browser much. In Ubuntu, Elinks also available as a lite or normal package, the normal package is part of the Ubuntu main repository while the lite package without extra scripting support is available in the Universe repo.

I recommend Elinks for hardcore internet surfers that have to work under text-based environment, because I’m sure they’ll appreciate every bit that elinks has to offer.
