Sorry.. it's been discussed here before, but it's an alternate text
browser..  http://ei5nazha.yz.yamagata-u.ac.jp/~aito/w3m/eng/

Especially since the author says:
Future work
    
   ...Nothing. As w3m's virtues are its small size and rendering speed,
   adding more features might lose these advantages. On the other hand,
   w3m is still known to have many bugs, and I will continue fixing them.

...in his discussion of the "history of w3m", it sounds like it won't get
huge new features, but I'm impressed at how well it does things like sidebars.
