Seriously, though, as much as you dread returning to lynx, it is the most
bandwith-friendly option on the table. If you don't want videos of any kind,
and are content with just plaintext (and separately downloadable images) you
should be safe. What's so bad about lynx?
Last time I checked, most sites don't display properly with lynx
because
they are not designed for text-based browses. All on the contrary,
most web
sites are full of useless images, but nonetheless, not displaying them
breaks those sites.
I haven't found that at all. In fact pressing the '*' key loads all
images, which you could download if you wanted.
There may be application for those browsers (like reading HTML manuals
that
have minimal formatting), but obviously they are not suitable for
ordinary
browsing.
au contraire, I find lynx good for the majority of the sites that I
visit. It's only on the rare occasion I do need to use iceweasel.
I even use it for youtube to get the link then use cclive to download
the video, of course I have to change to the GUI to watch it though. :)
