That's why there's a plain .txt file of the Handbook.
No browser required.

There's also w3m which some people seem to prefer.
It's quite light-weight:

$ cd /usr/local/bin
$ ls links lynx w3m
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  1059000 Aug  7 09:48 links
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  1184784 Jun  9 15:17 lynx
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel   403592 Jun  9 16:15 w3m

Best regards
