Ask HN: HTML Only Browser?

There is a huge selection of HTML only web-browsers, especially in free and open source software. It starts with the text-based ones, like lynx [1] or dillo [2] (if you need a GUI). Of course you can always disable any scripting support in Firefox, which gives you a HTML/CSS only experience.

Perhaps you mean editors that offer something like a "class browser". Then you can go with Kate [3], or any of the web-oriented IDE, e.g. Jetbrains' Webstorm [4].

I've downloaded many .html articles that I would like to read, without opening "BIG browsers" such as Firefox.

you'd get close with a console browser like Lynx/Links, or a text-only browser extension.
