While it should be possible for someone to create a suitable text mode browser which can support all the features that are needed today (such as javascript), I think such a project is going to be hard work for the results, it most likely won't get the same wide usage as something such as firefox, so either it may take longer for bugs to be tracked down, corrected, or web sites won't consider what to do for that browser (when they have browser specific code). I for the most part use orca with gnome, but there is LSR as well. This is the thing with free software, try them all and use what you find best, you don't loose anything but the time.
