Tabs in CLI web browser

Hi all

I'm fired up a terminal this morning and installed links and a few other CLI web browsers, however I like links the most.
But it has no tabs!
This is a feature I've really gotten used to and I wonder if there's any CLI-based browser that has them?

Re: Tabs in CLI web browser

Perhaps you could use a terminal that supported tabs and just have multiple instances of links?

Re: Tabs in CLI web browser

so does w3m.  What I like to do is stuff like:

w3m -N *.txt

but of course it does web pages too.

I'd rather just have one instance running

I don't know with links. But w3m can give you both graphics and tabs. In the end I went back to elinks, and gave up the graphics, because I found myself wanting to do things w3m couldn't yet do. If I want to see the graphics, I click on the image link and elinks launches a framebuffer graphics viewer (I'm using fbi) to show it to me.
