w3m is a free and open source text-based web browser licensed under the MIT license. It differs from other very early text-based browsers by supporting elements such as tables, frames, and images.[1][2]

History

The name "w3m" stands for "Script error: No such module "Nihongo".", which is Japanese for "to see the WWW", and where "W3" is a numeronym of "WWW".[3] The original project is no longer active. A different developer, Tatsuya Kinoshita, was maintaining a fork until early 2024.[4] Kinoshita left the project after a few months.[5] A new fork was created as a result.[6]

Functions

w3m runs in terminal emulator programs such as xterm and GNOME Terminal.[7] The browser has tabbed browsing, right click menus, and image support,[7] along with support for tables and frames. It also functions as a terminal pager.[1] It can be navigated solely using the keyboard or with the mouse. There are two different display modes, one with colors and one that is monochrome.[8]

w3m can be used within Emacs.[9]

Some distributions require the installation of a second package, w3m-img, to render images using w3m.[10]
