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.
