That depends on why you don't think Lynx suits your needs. It is
possible to get X running, and then run Firefox/Opera/whatever.
It's probably easier to pkg_add w3m-0.5.1p0 or w3m-0.5.1p0-image. I use
w3m for most of my browsing needs, only switching to Firefox when I want
to look at a graphical site or one that uses Javascript.
