Well, I think that even if it does not do anything different, at least it can be used if one of the previous ones does not exist. -- Researchers at Oxford University spent 10 years studying homing pigeons using global positioning satellite (GPS) and were stunned to find the birds often don't navigate by taking bearing from the sun. Instead they fly along motorways, turn at junctions and even go around roundabouts, adding miles to their journeys, British newspapers reported. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread

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...

Thus, my response. As far as I'm concerned, doing frames already puts it ahead of lynx. And you adding those 4 lines will eliminate the need for me to have the lynx package on my system which is there purely for docbook tools. Since you say you know how to use w3m, I'm not certain what you're asking about then, you should already be familiar with what its dump output looks like.
