if you have a reasonably fast connection and another machine already running what you want, vnc over ssh is a good compromise that works just as well regardless of terminal architecture, even if you only tls booted off a usb thumb drive.
vmx running openbsd works pretty well for me, but the big browsers slow to a crawl.
mothra is sufficient for a lot, but of course it has no support for javascript or css.
