Except that the internet is almost unusable without cookies
and scripting, lynx(1) works very well, too, if the ncursesw
library is linked against (and the terminal font supports
Unicode characters). Funny that it writes garbage for

 |<html><body><p>ä.ü.ö.</p></body></html>

but uses UTF-8 by default for

 |<html><body><p>ä.ü.ö.</p></body></html>

Hypertext offers a lot of possibilities to declare the charset,
and until then an agnostic 8-bit parser will do fine except
for multioctet charsets.
