I did not understand very well your requirements (my fault: I think I lack experience
in what you are doing), but I can suggest two web browsers that are pretty basic.

I usa falkon, which is the new version of qupzilla. I choosed Qupzilla/Falkon for its
simplicity: it always does what I ask without fancy useless things, and if something
gets in my way, I can usually disable it. However it is based on qt5, thus it might
be too complex for your needs.

In that case, I am pretty sure dillo makes your deal: it's awful, unusable for any modern
website (at least, this is my opinion). But it might be perfect for you, I think it can deal
with your web interfaces.
