Over the past year as I've gotten into linux and self-hosting as a hobby, I've found an interest in using terminals and the "minimalist" feeling it gives me. Recently I found out there are terminal based web browsers and I'm really interested in the stripped down nature of web browsing it offers.

I already tried out W3M but I know there are a few others such as Lynx and Browsh.

I'm interested in hearing about other people's experiences with terminal web browsers, the pro's and con's and also the reasons for using them.

Emacs was my first thought too. I wasn't sure it had a web browser too, but somehow it felt very likely
