True.

Ah yes... I've seen this before! I did drop it due to its dependency on 
FF, but the concept is similar. My idea was to aggressively filter a web 
page before passing it on to elinks or similar.

Perhaps rewriting it a bit in order to avoid the looooooong list of menu 
options or links that always come up at the top of the page, before the 
content of the page shows after a couple of page downs (this happens for 
instance if I go to wikipedia).

Instead parsing it, and adding those links at the bottom, removing 
javascript, and perhaps passing on only the text. Well, those are only 
ideas. Maybe I'll try, maybe I won't. Time will tell! =)
