Lynx just released version 2.93 a few weeks ago.
You can get it at the usual location, https://lynx.invisible-island.net
That of course is a development release, but generally, lynx has a
really good track record with development releases.

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.

Roger,
This specific DOS build came from others wanting to improve that
JavaScript functionality.
I cannot speak for any person's computing but my own.
still, there are places I can reach in elinks, in the Linux
shells I use
at least, that I cannot reach with any other tool.
It seasons my desire to test out this recent DOS build.
