Linux user here. I use links in graphical mode (links -g) quite a bit. It's easy to turn image display on and off with the '*' key. Image sizes can be scaled with the menu and they take effect immediately. If one hovers over an image link and types "i", the image itself is displayed, and there's an option to scale the image to fit the window. Getting a new links window is easy (Alt-F n). One gripe is that hitting Ctrl-C will close the window (the 'Q' key does this already) I use lynx as a second line of defense when some sites refuse to work with links, because lynx is sometimes able to display them (different user agent?). I also have been recently using lynx within xterm (disabling the alternate screen) for forums where posted URLs are not clickable (text only) in combination with xterm's dabbrev-expand() function to quickly copy such URLs in lynx's goto prompt. As an aside: in xterm's misc.c there's a a macro (IS_WORD_CONSTITUENT) that can be easily expanded to exclude characters that are not part of a URL, such as braces. I do worry that more and more websites will simply show "Suspicious Activity Detected" for these browsers. As mentioned so many times on HN, text browser users are a minority and text browsers are obsolete. I did once send a message to a website owner and later saw that I could access the site, but didn't get an acknowledgement by email, so I can't be sure if it was in response to my request. There still are some websites that degrade gracefully, and, despite complaints by the server, allow text input windows and submit buttons to still work.
