You think BadBrowsersMustDie and you are looking for an alternative?

Lynx (LynxMustDie, LynxBrowser)
W3M (http://www.w3m.org/)
Links (http://artax.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~mikulas/links/ also http://freshmeat.net/projects/links/) -- only Mac binary i know of (0.95) is [here]
Elinks (http://elinks.or.cz/) -- fork from Links; handles frames

They all handle tables now. Try them. w3m even handles textarea fields now.

I recommend w3m. Links and Lynx both start displaying pages before they finish loading it. Therefore they often seem faster than w3m. -- AlexSchroeder

using w3m

I created a shell script "web-browser" which more or less does this:

 if test -z "$DISPLAY"; then
     w3m $1
 else
     xterm -e w3m $1
 fi

In w3m you can define external browsers. Set the first external browser to "web-browser %s" -- then you can open another window using "M".
