I did not understand very well your requirements (my fault: I think I lack = experience in what you are doing), but I can suggest two web browsers that are pretty = basic. I usa falkon, which is the new version of qupzilla. I choosed Qupzilla/Falk= on for its simplicity: it always does what I ask without fancy useless things, and if = something gets in my way, I can usually disable it. However it is based on qt5, thus = it might be too complex for your needs. In that case, I am pretty sure dillo makes your deal: it's awful, unusable = for any modern website (at least, this is my opinion). But it might be perfect for you, I = think it can deal with your web interfaces. Lorenzo Salvadore.
