w3m,links and elinks. w3m and links as they support displaying images
under framebuffer, and elinks for it's javascript support.
If you don't need these features, any text browser is good for
browsing html documentation :)

Seconded. In addition, if you ever need to read East Asian characters,
there is a good extension to w3m called w3mmee which supports multibyte
encoding formats (stuff like Big5, euc-JP etc).

Not too long ago, I was using elinks for the same reason, but found
that sites were complaining about the amount of js support, telling me
to upgrade :-(
Afterthought: it was actually the Oracle website where I was going to
get the jdk / documentation, which has gone back to being
fetch-restricted :-( :-( :-(

In my experience, elinks has the best support for showing you
formatted, colorized, javascripted HTML in text console.

i haven't used text browsers for some time now, but i definitely prefered
links over lynx. if i were you, i would try both. for me the links
interface was much better, although lynx seems to be better known or more
widely used.

I like elinks for its tabs capability and easy configurability through its GUI
(the latter isn’t a killer feature in console land, but it makes it easy for
example to find every keyboard-assignable feature it has).
And concerning size:
ls -l /usr/bin/{lynx,elinks}
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 933972 24. Okt 15:56 /usr/bin/elinks
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1286964 6. Jun 2011 /usr/bin/lynx
Plus, if you need it, elinks provides a number of other goodies like support
for bittorrent or samba.

I like elinks and lynx for their proxy support. lynx simply uses *_proxy
environment variables, elinks must be configured in it's menu. links
doesn't support https over proxy.
