If you are limited to the console, then w3m is a better app, though I
confess I've never had the time or the inclination to learn how to use
it :-) . 

Did you try those commands in *scratch* that I mentioned? If they gave
errors, what were they?

I imagine it installs into a directory of its own, and that if you
remove that directory, there shouldn't be any conflicts. However, you
did mention that there seemed to be some individual customization
involved; hopefully, removing any line that mentions w3 from you
$HOME/.emacs file should get rid of it, but then I've this bad feeling
that recent GNU Emacsen may have a configuration directory.
