try links2, it is already basically that.

But I have also been tempted to do this, because my D libraries 
are actually... basically capable of it. I have html to text 
(which I use for my email) and even did a basic layouter with css 
support once. And it kinda worked - I could view my websites of 
the time. But meh, I keep being forced to use crappy websites 
that require crappy browsers so no point even trying.

I find these things to be so useful it drives me nuts when 
programs try to remove them. Overlapping is useful when you 
disable click raises windows!

You should write your own window manager tho. I still haven't 
exactly done it... I forked blackbox years ago for myself tho, so 
I still am using a custom one, just not from scratch.
