Linux for Leftists

Most of what I want to do on the web is read text, and while I love Firefox it's a bit of a resource hog for quick browsing. I've therefore been using links2 for a while. There is also Lynx, and Elinks and probably many more I'm not aware of.

links2 was somewhat of an arbitrary choice for me, so I was wondering if any comrades used terminal-based browsers and which ones they preferred? I'd value the feature of highlighting and copying text, but maybe that's a concern for the terminal emulator itself? links2 is fine so far but wondering if anyone was particularly passionate about their browser choice on the terminal.

(Note: I'm aware of Kristall, for Gemini/HTTP/Gopher but I'm specifically interested in a terminal-based web browser)
