In case anyone's interested in a browser solution somewhere between Links and Firefox, you might want to check out NetRider (and wkccc) on Sourceforge. wkccc is a version of webkit. The developer put together an API that can be used with FLTK, SDL or via command line. NetRider is his FLTK-based browser that uses the API. wkccc needs make to build Google's skia library (back-end) and cmake to build webkit. So far, it's the easiest version of webkit I've found to build from source. Still a lot of dependencies compared to a text browser or links, but for a browser with more modern features, this is the lightest I've found. If one uses the SDL API, one could get web pages up using SDL and DirectFB outside of X.
