Browse more with a TUI browser like w3m or elinks. A good website should be able to provide a decent UX even on these browsers which have too few features to exploit (namely no JavaScript). You could work it into a workflow like opening docs in a terminal split or setting one as your default browser in a TUI feedreader like Newsboat.
