links and w3m can run directly on the framebuffer and that's very handy if you need a lightweight browser with graphics support for quick browsing if you hosed your usual graphical environment (or are deliberately not using it for some reason). I typically use that a few times a year. Other than that, netsurf with libNSFB comes to mind, but it's correct that this software is not fully part of TW (just netsurf-buildsystem, probably from a time where netsurf was part of TW or was supposed to enter it). I'm critical to this change, even though I understand that the stack is under-maintained, often buggy and dying out (RIP DirectFB, for instance), but it can be highly useful. Mihai
