Web Browsing: Elinks

I do a fair amount of text-only browsing of the web, and elinks is the best text-mode web browser I’ve found so far. It works well for my style of browing — open lots of tabs in the background as I’m reading and then work through reading them all. For this I need a browser that has easy keyboard navigation and good support for tabs and background loading. Once I found out that pressing shift while selecting text would actually allow the text to be selected I made elinks my standard text-mode browser.
