Lynx vs. Elinks

When running stripped down and text only, what's your browser?

Had been using Lynx for quite a while, but recently started using Elinks when I found it in a backwater directory of my *nix machine.

Advantage Lynx:

Ignores tables and positional formatting. Just spits out the text in the order it gets it. Nice to see the order things come out in a "reader" for hearing impaired, also (I think) gives a better idea of the order the SE bots see things in (although I don't know that makes much difference).

Advantage Elinks:

Obeys Tables and some CSS positional formatting (though not all, by any means). You can actually use this to functionally surf the web. Also, has a habit of making those missiong "alt" tags jump out and smack you in the face by placing a big [IMG] wherever you have an image without an alt (so does Lynx, but in the streaming text that Lynx renders, this is far less noticeable).

Anyone here have any preferences?

I prefer Lynx myself - for checking accessibility etc. No point AFAIC seeing tables in a non-graphical browser.

There are some other options that you haven't mentioned, including 'Links' and 'w3m' which are also popular.
