Ok why not get Lynx on your Android device? the rule of of diminishing return applies.. at some point, the usability shortcoming of ascii interface out weights

  I've installed w3m (through termux, which is both a terminal environment and apt-based installer). I don't use it much but there are times when it's faster and cleaner than any other alternative. It often actually is superior to GUI presentation, except for the annoying tendency of text to run into the gutter. I've been kicking around an idea for a FYWD browser. That might stand for Fine Young Western Dinosaurs or Fuck Your Web Design. It would offer a standard format, non-JS, uniformly presented readable Web page. Not intended for apps, but a sane set of presentation defaults for a given site. Site-offered CSS would be ignored (or at best strongly deprecated). Straight-bog HTML 1 / HTML5 sites should render best. User could opt for specific stylesheets (e.g., night mode, large/small font), provided _locally_. It'd be aimed at reading. Something like Reader Mode on Safari or Firefox, but enabled by default. (I use the latter, often intercept loading pages to hand-type in "about:reader?url=" before they fully load.) Some other bits in mind as well, sort of mulling over the concept for now. This codepen shows what a few basic rules can provide. Doesn't take much to make that work across a wide range of display sizes. http://codepen.io/dredmorbius/pen/KpMqqB http://codepen.io/dredmorbius/pen/KpMqqB
