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.
