      Summary: an Emacs interface to w3m

  Emacs-w3m is an Emacs interface to the w3m program. For more
  detail about w3m, see:

It is older and uses an external process (which runs w3m(1))
so that should make it very robust since it relies on that to
do the heavy lifting, itself just the Emacs interface (tho an
elaborate one). And this reliance on w3m, a C program,
probably makes it (Emacs-w3m) faster than anything "just
Elisp" ...
