Yes, RMS does not "browse the web" he has a server that runs a script sort of like wget or cURL.

Is there a source for why he doesn't "browse the web"? I've read about how he does it, but the articles I have seen are very light on the reason.

I've never heard him flat-out say "why", but it sure appears to be in order to maximize anonymity / privacy on the web.
