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.
