-      Emacs/W3 used to be known as the most popular WEB browser on Emacs, but
-      it worked so slowly that we wanted a simple and speedy alternative.
-
-      w3m is a pager with WWW capability, developed by Akinori ITO. Although
-      it is a pager, it can be used as a text-mode WWW browser. Then we
-      developed a simple Emacs interface to w3m.
