Lynx
Lynx is a fully-featured WWW client for users running cursor-addressable, character-cell display devices (e.g., vt100 terminals, terminal emulators running on PCs or Macs, or any other character-cell display). It will display HTML documents containing links to files on the local system, as well as files on remote systems running HTTP, HTTPS, gopher, FTP, WAIS, NNTP, finger, or cso/ph/qi servers, and services accessible via logins to telnet, tn3270, or rlogin accounts.

Recent commentsOne of the good ones
It is software like projects like Lynx that make open source systems so good. They are not the most popular/flashy/catchy, but rock solid in my opinion. I used to use lynx for browsing for information, it almost made modem connections useful. Now I use it because it is powerful. Good work.
