They're really great. I like Links the best -- has some mouse support
which makes navigating a little quicker, and drop down menus. If
there's an image I actually want to look at, I have them associated with
the Linux 'display' program, which displays it when I click it with the
mouse. So you have the speed of a text browser with the ability to see
the images you really want to see. There's even a little javascript
support.
