I don't know about Emacs, but for TUI browsers with Javascript

experimental JS support in Netsurf it doesn't seem to be advanced
enough to be useful (although unlike Netsurf, ELinks uses Mozilla's
SpiderMonkey JS engine, so I'm not exactly sure what makes it so
difficult to get right).

I regard ELinks as worthless. At best, I hope it is a work in
progress. I haven't tried Netsurf, but I have tried implementing,
via jsdom, specific fetch routines for different sites of interest.
I have found that even sites that contain json data do not provide
consistent (across sites) methods of fetching the data. It is
worse when the data are not as organized as json data, but it is
distributed in unique ways for the specific site.
 

Once you get a Gopher/Gemini browser, among yt-dlp, the web can go away.

Try these under lynx:

gopher://magical.fish
gopher://gopherddit.com
gopher://sdf.org
gopher://hngopher.com

gemini://gemi.dev (head to news waffle)

Magical Fish it's a HUGE portal and even a 386 would be
able to use the services. You have a news source,
a translator, stock prices, weather, wikipedia over gopher,
Gutenberg, torrent search...

Have fun.
