w3m :-P  Especially since I made some little scripts that let me open a 
link in another instance of w3m in a new term and mail a link etc.  I 
find most sites easier to read and navigate with w3m - especially 
interactive sites like weblogs or discussion boards where I'm doing as 
much typing as browsing.  OK, it doesn't work with flash or javascript 
but I don't find I miss that.
