May I recommend links[0] as a replacement? It is as far as I can tell still actively maintained and is one of the first things I install on a new Linux system.

- davidw 7y agoYep. Seems much better than Lynx.
- enriquto 7y agoi see your links and raise my elinks
- MayeulC 7y agoThat's the one I prefer to use as well. It has better compatibility with colors, it might also have some js compatibility, I think. Basically, it looks like I often get a better result with it. And of course, duckduckgo is very usable with elinks. mediawiki and wordpress sites tend to be quite good as well!
- seabird 7y agoSlightly off topic, but I never realized that Twibright maintained links. I remember seeing their 10Mbps optical links years ago and thinking they were pretty cool, and didn't notice all of their other projects, even though I was using one of them.
- NilsIRL 7y agoUnlike what the article might suggest, lynx isn't dead. It is still maintained.
- dredmorbius 7y agoAlternatives to lynx: links, elinks, and my preferred console browser, w3m. Like links/elinks, w3m supports tables and other layouts. It adds in vim-like keybindings, which I find vastly more memorable than lynx's keybindings, or the menu-driven approaches of links/elinks. If you're now using lynx, you'll probably keep on prefering it. If you're coming from the vim camp, you may well want to try w3m. Other features I like: the extensive configurability, colour schemes, and numerous URI handlers which can be specified. Nominally, those are for launching other browsers, but you could just as well chain in scripts or processes for various workflow uses.
