Why wouldn't you use lynx instead of Links?
- pantaloony 6y agoLinks had a much better UI, last I checked. Or at least more-discoverable. IIRC it rendered pages a little better, too.
- mkl 6y agoLinks has a GUI mode, so it can show images, colours, etc. I don't really get the point, though; Firefox with uBlock Origin seems much more practical.
- every 6y agoI've used lynx for almost 30 years but it is simply no longer capable of rendering the modern web in a useable fashion. It is however highly useful as a file manager and for stripping and importing web text via -dump. Also the best available gopher browser...
- hitpointdrew 6y ago>rendering the modern web Maybe the modern web needs to change...not your browser.
- forgotmypwbctbi 6y agolinks also supports mouse pointer.
- chaoticmass 6y agoWhy don't people use elinks?
- catalogia 6y agoI did before switching to eww. Elinks is pretty nice.
- chaoticmass 6y agoNever heard of that one. Will check it out.
