IMO, a most useful thing is Lynx in DIRED mode. A great read-only directory browser - just enter a local url when you start it. For example, <lynx .> or <lynx /> .

FYI, w3m also supports this.

In fact w3m was originally intended as a filesystem browser and file pager, with HTML functionality added to it. See: <https://w3m.sourceforge.net/>
