You just listed 3 browsers that are pretty common and bloated. I was wondering what you are using for a browser?

  w3m in emacs, mostly -- except for a few sites I care about (like HN) that absolutely insist on using Javascript. It might be a bit extreme for most people, but browsing the web in text-only mode (w3m is capable of displaying images, but I mostly don't use it that way) is great! I quickly and efficiently get what matters to me most: the content. And I don't have to worry Javascript, Flash, HTML 5, or other rich media vulnerabilities. Not to mention the great integration of w3m in emacs, which is far beyond anything you'd get with a standalone browser (even if you're using addons like Pentadactyl or It's All Text).

    Second this; having your browser as just another emacs buffer is just too handy; now if I could just get w3m to support the minimum necessary JS to get my regular sites to work . . .

      An experimental Javascript extention to w3m, called w3m-js, used to exist.. 10 years ago.[1][2] But unfortunately the project looks pretty dead now.
