w3m does indeed rock, but most modern websites don't work without javascript.

One thing it's really useful for is searching duck duck go (or similar) from the command line.

I have this in my .zsh_aliases:

ddg() { q="${@}"; w3m "https://duckduckgo.com/lite/?q=$q&kd=-1" }




On JS, set the User Agent to the PSP one (Ddg it).

Most sites will render well enough.
