Lynx is a very fine non-GUI browser, but some things need a GUI. I agree about Chimera. Mosaic is all right - but tables are missing a problem. Grail is a little sluggish, and doesn't render the Python documentation properly (talk about ironic!). Emacs-w3 would be great, but I can't stand loosing my emacs while it loads and renders a page. I want my AWeb back!
