For many, if not most, of the sites I regularly visit, text based browsers work surprisingly fine. My main complaint is actually the structure of the html. In many cases sites could improve massively, if they moved navigation to below the actual content. Having a large vertical menu taking up the entire screen as the first thing you see is slightly annoying.

I did that that recently for a couple of personal projects and I like it. I think I will start doing it for client sites too.

The main navigation menu is just above the site footer in the HTML document.

Question for people who know that stuff:

What is the recommended way of hiding features that require JavaScript on browsers that do not support JavaScript, e.g., on w3m?

You can try the <noscript> tag.

Just letting you know, that stuff is a bit confusing to screen reader users.

Though I really wish we standardized on putting content first, like mobile apps do. At least we woulnd't haave to explain to new screen reader users why getting to the f???ing article is so damn hard if you don't know the right incantations to do it quickly.

		Thank you! Would a Jump to navigation link next to Skip to content make this arrangement better for screen reader users?

I mentioned it in another comment, but @media: grid[1] support can help distinguish the user agents that are text-mode.
