This is no longer true as of 2002. See this link

Have a look at elinks as well. It's a text browser similar to lynx but
it is updated more often and has rudimentary javascript support as well
as tabbed browsing. But really if you're going to use a text browser
they work better with a console screenreader and so much of the web is
all scripty these days that you may as well use firefox especially since
you have the GUI up already. Elinks is included with most distros but if you need the page to get the code it 
is at:

BTW, I use vim rather than vi but vi is everywhere so it is good to know
its limitaitions as well. The busybox version of vi is on my router for
example. But really there are a lot of vi clones and there are a lot
of emacs variants as well. It's all very much personal preference. Play
with stuff and see what you like. I use vim myself.
