lynx doesn't crash on me... and with one key (backspace) you can pull up
the history list *as a webpage*. \ for unrendered version, P for print to
disk. Save it to any darn filename you want, not something the browser is
going to eat when it barfs on some cheesy javascript.
If your video card is "down" to it, you can wire up SVGAlib and let zgv be
lynx' image viewer. (recommendation 1: if you aren't mentioned, try forcing
the "VESA" entry.)

squid makes lots of logs of its usage but it would probably take some
scripts to extract what you want from it (unless you're the only user)
Filter hooks are par for the caching course these days, no?
