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.<ref name=":0">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>Template:Cite book</ref>
History
The name "w3m" stands for "Template:Nihongo", which is Japanese for "to see the WWW", and where "W3" is a numeronym of "WWW".<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> The original project is no longer active. A different developer, Tatsuya Kinoshita, was maintaining a fork until early 2024.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Unfortunately Tatsuya (aka tats) was determined to be MIA in July of 2024. <ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Thus a new fork, which is actively maintained, is at SourceHut.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
Functions
w3m runs in terminal emulator programs such as xterm and GNOME Terminal.<ref name=":1">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> The browser has tabbed browsing, right click menus, and image support,<ref name=":1" /> along with support for tables and frames. It also functions as a terminal pager.<ref name=":0" /> 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.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
w3m can be used within Emacs.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
Some distributions require the installation of a second package, w3m-img, to render images using w3m.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref>
