Browsing in plain text

Did you know you can use programs like lynx or w3m to browse the web on the command line?

No CSS, JavaScript or images, just plain text.

Similar to using a screen reader, you can quickly tab between focusable elements like links and buttons to find what you need.

While it will probably not replace Firefox or Chrome as a daily driver, it is useful to know if you're on a server without a browser or need to quickly find information without distractions.
