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.
