I use phoenix or opera 6.11 in openbox.  The purpose of using diffrent
ones is I have them doing diffrent tasks.  Opera works off of my multi
media keyboard keys.  Phoenix does my main browsing and links does what
urls I get in chat.  That tho is under the gui.  Also why I use opera or
phoenix in the gui is that as far as I know it will not use the plugins.
 I like web based java games and flash so therefore I need something
that will support those formats.  If links did I might shift over.

Well if you install links and type just "links -mode" it will give you a
list of acceptable resolutions.  Using svga lib in console then it will
once you specify the resolution launch with a graphical interface. 
Usually the mode is say for me "links -mode 1024x768x32"

Even links in non graphical modes(ie the -g switch for X or the --mode
for svgalib) is nicer than lynx.  I do like the older lynx but I perfer
the features of this one.  I think there is one other links varient
"e-links" or something but I've not tried that one yet.
