There is trend of insecurity/vulnerabilities that seems to gain in speed in recent months. Not trying to sound ominous and nothing to really point finger to but it seems like a thing.
Since few months ago I do almost all browsing in carefully set w3m. No javascript at all of course and certainly no flash. I am typing this in vim which is set as default form editor in w3m for me.
Edit: if you are wondering if w3m can work well try looking at HN using w3m, its a real beauty.
