Agree, elinks features: * Lots of protocols (local files, finger, http, https, ftp, smb, ipv4, ipv6) * Authentication (HTTP authentication, Proxy authentication) * Persistent cookies * Cute menus and dialogs * Tabbed browsing * Support for browser scripting (Perl, Lua, Guile) * Tables and frames rendering * Colors * Background (non-blocking) downloads ... and really active upstream developers.
