You are Jacob Neilsen in disguise and I claim my five pounds. You want to see everything in black Times Roman on a grey background with no images. You haven't yet twigged that for the web to be a rich source of ideas, information and innovation, someone needs to pay for it. Which means paid for content (generally porn - the most successful paid for content by a mile) or advertising and marketing spend. You choose.
Download a copy of Lynx, or Netscape 2. That should do the trick.
Cheers,
Rich.

Which to my mind is a real plus point for Flash. By not installing the
flash plugin all the stupid cartoons and marketing drivel disappears from
the web and you're left with the content. Which in the case of some
overly marketing driven sites can be, er, somewhat limited and often
indicates a company trying to use smoke and mirrors to cover up crappy
products and/or poor customer service. I therefore tend to think of Flash
as a "wheat-from-chaff separator". :-)
YMMV,
