Another text-only browser, "Links," arose in 1999, offering the nice feature of supporting html tables and horizontal scrolling. Javascript heavy social networking web 2.0 sites may not work, but most others do (news, forums, etc...). Development stopped in 2004, but the ELinks fork is still being actively developed... I'm always amazed that on my modern DSL connection it seems like I'm once again browsing on dialup in the mid 90's with how slowly some pages load. Browsing text-only can be a huge relief!

RSS sort of takes up the slack there, but not completely.
