elinks (ELinks - Full-Featured Text WWW Browser)
ELinks is an advanced and well-established feature-rich text mode web
(HTTP/FTP/..) browser. ELinks can render both frames and tables, is
highly customizable, and can be extended via Lua or Guile scripts. It
is very portable and runs on a variety of platforms. It also uses
SpiderMonkey javascript support.
