That is interesting.
Never thought about screen review playing a role for those who use that
allot.
Speaking personally, I tried loading google in w3m, but found it tedious
reaching the page sections I sought.
Perhaps the search feature lets you skip faster. would have to play with
it more.
Speaking personally having links numbered saves me time as, at a glance
so to speak I can choose where I am going swiftly.

No, numbered links are not used in w3m as far as I know. W3m works
differently. It puts the page into a buffer similar to an editor, and you use
the arrows to navigate. You can tab to links and controls and press the enter
key to activate them. In this way, w3m is similar in some ways to graphical
browsers that are much easier to read and navigate. It has the added
advantage of being able to operate as a pager to read man pages in much the
same way. This may not work for users who have gotten used to text-based
applications needing to be read page by page using screen reader review, but
it tends to work a lot better for those of us who have gotten used to being
able to navigate using arrows and tabs in a consistent way. The only thing
that is missing from w3m is the ability to navigate by headers and other
specific elements and the ability to work with modern websites that employ
otherwise accessible Javascript and HTML5 standards. My personal website is
somewhat of an exception, because I had to code in a more difficult way so
that it could work at least a little with browsers such as w3m or lynx that
don't support HTML5 audio for example. I actually had to code fallback links
for them, which nearly doubles the size and complexity of my hand coded HTML.
