I feel like many of the text-mode browsers have failed to keep up with changing web standards. We were all mad when IE was holding back the Internet, and I'm not sure we should give lynx and w3m a pass because they're geek tools. (Accessibility is an important concern, but web browsers running under a GUI system support screen readers.)

https://www.brow.sh/ is a console-based browser that claims to support modern standards. Perhaps that is what we should be using.

(I am now prepared for 6 comments replying to me saying that anything that can be implemented with HTML from 1999 should be, and a list of search results can be. I guess. If all that stuff works for everyone, why did we invent new stuff? Just because? Or perhaps it wasn't really as amazing as well all remember.)
