	I use edbrowse, myself. While I *could* use it for online 
shopping/banking, I usually just go back to Firefox in Windows, and 
because SourceForge isn't updating it's version of edbrowse, Debian 
hasn't been keeping up with what's current.  It still works well with 
most websites, using the SeaMonkey java libraries to keep up with the 
Jones'es for java support.  It takes a little getting used to, but once 
you know a page layout, you can navigate as fast as if you were sighted, 
or you could simply script in a macro to handle the navigation for you.  
Edbrowse's Google macro is a fine example of accessing and cleaning up 
google's web pages to leave you with only the meat of the search results 
and nothing else.  Just type:

	<gg (search criteria)

...and edbrowse will fill in the search criteria as if you'd loaded the 
page already, then filter out the results from the page headers and 
footers.
