It depends on what is installed on the system. The most common is lynx.

So:

lynx www.hotmail.com

RE: Command for web browsing in Unix
Lynx also works great for downloading. Say I am working on my windows machine and working on my unix box vi telnet or secure shell. I found a application I want to download for unix. Instead of downloading on my windows machine and using FTP to uploading it I just paste the link after lynx like

lynx www.download-a-app.com/someapp.tar

I do it this way because it is easier to find what you want in a graphical browser.

Just a Tip

No, he asked about a UNIX command, not specifically lynx.

how to browse web using unix command


He was looking for a command to browse the web from unix. I wouldn't use wget to browse the web. As zombie said, wget is better for grabbing a single file. Both programs have their place and use. Case closed. No need to argue about it.
