A new dos browser interests me, thank you for bringing it to our
attention.  I currently use Lynx and Links on my retro PC.  However, Links
hasn't been updated since 2024, and Lynx hasn't been updated since 2021.
(I'm surprised Lynx still works, I wish somebody would compile a newer
version)  Elinks was mentioned here:
https://www.bttr-software.de/forum/board_entry.php?id=23447#p23456
And there is a download here:
https://github.com/rkd77/elinks/releases/download/v0.19.1/elinks-0.19.1b-dos.zip

It appears to work well in Freedos as long as you load doslfn.
