I found the text browser w3m which is the best so far in my opinion. However, it is main problem is Javascript.

I cannot see comments at all in Stackoverflow when I use it.

I am not sure what is the restriction in letting Javascript to be in terminal.

How can you enable at least some of JavaScript for Terminal such that comments are visible?

Javascript requires a Javascript interpreter. If your user-agent doesn't understand a particular kind of scripting, it simply ignores it. To get a minimal level of support, try the w3m-js extension.
