If you do not use too much javascript the site can be diplayed in links,
another text browser. However, I am not sure that the browser is usable
with braille terminals. In fact I haven't seen such thing.

So far I have only seen a system for reading text from standard windows
applications (including Infernal Exploder probably).

There also exists text-to-speech thingy for emacs. It's likely the
most blind-friendly free application as it was the central application
of a sample blind-friendly GNU/Linux cd I got somewhere.
hmm, I doubt the browser included in emacs can do javascript.
