I suppose many of the modern day websites won't work on such browsers ??

Are there browsers directly from the command line ?? I'm going to use MX fluxbox as the OS.

You could try Chawan. That's quite good.

You also have the usual selection of Links2 (text mode), Lynx, and w3m; but most modern websites will not work very well (if at all).

elinks is great. It can even execute simple JS, works very well for browsing wikis or reading online documentation.

Command line browsers do exist but are usually worse than the others mentioned in terms of site support.
