It has support for tables, frames, SSL connections, color and inline images on suitable terminals. Generally, it renders pages in a form as true to their original layout as possible. The name &#8220;w3m&#8221; stands for &#8220;WWW wo miru (WWW\u3092\u898b\u308b)&#8221;, which is Japanese for &#8220;to see the WWW&#8221; where W3 is a numeronym of WWW.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why use a text browser:<\/strong><br \/>\nIt helps when you have a very shitty network connection. This is a live saver when you want to get things done super fast. Also sometimes it is easy to read sites without a lot of images etc.<\/p>\n<p>Installing W3M on Linux<br \/>\nYou\u2019ll want to install the main w3m package and the w3m-img package if you want inline image support. Use the following command on Ubuntu:<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>sudo apt-get install w3m w3m-<\/strong><\/em>img<\/p>\n<p>For Mac following command will install:<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>brew install w3m<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>You can use the arrow keys to move the cursor around or click at the desired location to move the cursor there. If you want to type in a text box, select the text box with your cursor and press Enter before typing your text. Load a hyperlink by selecting it with your cursor and pressing Enter.<br \/>\nShortcuts:<br \/>\n<strong>Tab<\/strong>: Press the Tab key to position your cursor over the next hyperlink on the page.<br \/>\n<strong>Shift-B<\/strong>: will take you back a page.<br \/>\n<strong>Shif-U<\/strong>: If you want to load a different URL, you\u2019ll get an URL prompt.<br \/>\n<strong>Shift-H<\/strong>: To view the help page if you want to see a more complete list of keyboard shortcuts.<br \/>\n<strong>Shift-T<\/strong>: To open a new tab and then you can press Shift-U and enter the new URL. Yes, it does support tab browsing:)<\/p>\n<p>Let me know if you liked it and if you have any other suggestion or tool for the same in comments below.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>w3m is one of the easiest command line browsers for multiple platforms. \u00a0w3m is a free software\/open source text-based web<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2928,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[10,1],"tags":[92,244,213,47,552,553],"class_list":["post-2926","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-app","category-article","tag-browser","tag-command","tag-linux","tag-mac","tag-terminal-text","tag-w3m"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pgLsB5-Lc","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":3625,"url":"http:\/\/reliablesoftwares.com\/blog\/chatgpt-locally-for-free-the-complete-ollama-guide-2024\/","url_meta":{"origin":2926,"position":0},"title":"ChatGPT Locally for FREE: The Complete Ollama Guide (2024)","author":"saifuddin","date":"September 14, 2025","format":false,"excerpt":"Imagine having a ChatGPT-like AI assistant running on your computer, completely offline, with no monthly fees or data privacy concerns.
