A quick trip down the rabbit hole (and my package manager) after reading this article revealed that the author of links has also produced links2 and xlinks2, which support very limited formatting (like showing text in a few different sizes). It also has image support which can be toggled via a hotkey. I found the browsing experience with xlinks2 to be more pleasant than with regular links, and like with links, every page loads almost instantly.
