Well, first and foremost it is the browser I have on my system. Features I like? Well, I'm used to it. How hard can it be for you to add those 4 lines to the test? It does tabbed browsing beautifully. I usually have 6 tabs open. It does frames artfully. It draws page elements superior to lynx. But not links. It also, being written by a japanese dude, does cjk quite well. When I have a DISPLAY set it will interact with the mouse and draw images on the page. Handy when I switch screen to my home computer again. I love the prefs page...
