@tomasino I've been using #Orfox, and with the configured settings, I essentially get what you are looking for. No javascript, no images (unless I ask for them), and you can even override the style to get it how you want.
Doesn't work on some pages, but you know that as a #lynx user already. ^_^
Bonus points, it always loads via #Tor (#Orbot), so I get a decent minimal experience, with the nice webby parts.
