I haven't tried those yet (or lynx :-) but there's a lot of sites out there
that do some really bad stuff...

For example,  using graphic elements for the menu items.  I can diddle the
size of text in firefox with a simple keystroke,  but if they're using
graphics for the menu items like that,  they're unaffected.

Lots of really *bad* web sites out there!
