w3m, nice! I tried lynx, w3m, eww (emacs) lately, and liked w3m the most, but found it terribly slow on many sites. In particular GitHub. Just measured 12 seconds for loading my Profile. lynx takes 5s. Opera takes 2s.

Do you have similar experiences?

Yup, it's slow for me too. I like it anyway. I want to like links, which is way faster, but w3m is just so simple. If I had to guess, I'd say it's because w3m doesn't support gzip compression.
