Best text-based browser for userscripting?

Hi /prog/,

Hope you don't mind if the question is beginner related or bringing back over-discussed themes.

What should I use if I want to customize how the Web is displayed, on a per-page basis? Browsing text content and navigating in POST fields would be the only feature. Hiding things, moving others... Platform is /dev/tty and BBCode or Javascript are not needed. Should I look at some open source lynx/elinks/w3m and use or write a module? (contribute) Emacs/W3? (I'd rather not) Or should I just fail at writing my own html/css parser? (autism+procrastination)

Do you, riders, have advices?

why bother?

can't afford a computer that runs X?
want to feel like you belong to an elite group of hackers?
bored and just looking for something (anything) to do?

honestly... you don't sound like a man who can get things done: i think your procrastination will get the best of you. i mean, i see you dreaming about writing an HTML/CSS parser... but seriously, what's the last non trivial program you wrote?

perhaps you should start by writing a snake clone?
