For me it's the other way round. w3 works for pretty much anything I throw at it, once you turned off image loading and use your own colors. emacs-w3m on the other hand won't follow any links for me (it just reloads the first page I've viewed) and it frequently freezes Emacs so I have to kill it. > BTW w3m also works quite well as a stand-alone browser under X. > Have got w3m to render some sites which mozilla would not grok > properly, e. g. http://www.lostworldsinc.com . I do agree that w3m is buttkickin' good as a stand-alone browser. It is what I use most of the time. On the other hand, if w3 ever gets reasonably fast, I'll switch in a heartbeat. -- Booting... /vmemacs.el
