>what GOOD options are still out there? You know, that's a good question given the threat exposure in a browser. Maybe the right answer is a mixture. Use a dedicated Chromebook in guest mode for financial transactions/bill paying/banking (high security, low privacy from Google) and something akin to a text-based browser on an open source OS for everything else. Is there something like Lynx but with a bit of formatting + still images? I can see going that route simply because the sheer size (in LOC) of a modern browser is so great that I question it's trustability.

Use a dedicated Chromebook in guest mode for financial transactions/bill paying/banking (high security, low privacy from Google) and something akin to a text-based browser on an open source OS for everything else. The part about the chromebook is actually good advice, given the good security hardening of chromebooks from the moment they boot.
