That's script-kiddie language for "elite" desktop, they substitute "1"
for "l", "3" for "E", "7" for "T" and so on.  I have no idea what
a "1337" desktop would look like, maybe either no graphics at all or
laden with icons, shortcuts and whatever fancy, useless stuff there is.

That's something most GUI browsers let you do only with addons:  take
a page from the internet and store a text-only version of it, without
any HTML mumble.  "elinks -force-html -dump-charset UTF-8 -dump" is the
command I use to convert much hated HTML emails to readable text.

People use "ssh <some-remote-site>" to login elsewhere.  The remote site
issues a command prompt on their local terminal.  They can enter any
command, including "elinks" as long as their local terminal understands
the escape sequences sent by "elinks".
