lynx can do that, too, if set up properly, and lynx' cookie handling is a
lot better than w3m's. Still prefer w3m, though, due to its table/frame
handling.
One thing about w3m: Make sure you run it in an xterm, not rxvt or aterm -
xterm supports the ascii drawing characters - tables look a lot nicer if w3m
is able to use them.
