I use w3m from Emacs all the time. It is not my primary browser, but I do like it for reading documentation while hacking. It is ridiculously fast and uses very little memory when compared to Firefox.
It is very convenient for copying snippets of code and pasting them in whatever file you are editing (or a REPL), too.
The same, to a lesser degree, goes for Dillo. It is amazing how Dillo can have dozens of tabs open and never use more thant 50-100 MB of RAM... :)
- omaranto 12y agoHave you tried eww in Emacs 24.4? I already like it better than w3m.
- username223 12y agoIt's better once you keep it from messing with your text background color. I think this does it: (defadvice shr-color-check (before unfuck compile activate) "Don't let stupid shr change background colors." (setq bg (face-background 'default)))
- chriswarbo 12y agoI agree. Not had chance to try eww yet. One step up from Dillo is Netsurf, which seems to handle more CSS than Dillo but is still pretty snappy.
- ams6110 12y agoI use emacs to read my email and use w3m to format HTML emails (which sadly, most are these days, and more and more don't include a plain text alternant). In particular it does a good job with tables. I have not tried eww yet.
