speaking personally, I have nothing to say about w3m, because I have not,
and cannot imagine needing, to use it for any task.
That being said, as someone who uses lynx and links daily, many times a
day, your either or question does not fully work for me, because both
tools have their uses.
I prefer lynx because it speaks well, allows me to save and or email
content to myself, does a wonderful job with cookies and bookmarks, and
that is just off the top of my head.
Links the chain, for all its JavaScript helpful baseline does not allow
cookies, given the importance cookies plays for many sites, that can make
it almost useless at frankly many places.
For me, the DOS edition does not speak well, although the Links edition I
use at shellworld does, have yet to discover why that is the case.
links the chain does not, or not that I can tell, manage bookmarks nearly
as well, but truly the lack of cookies in the browser is just stunning.
Are there places I can visit in Links the chain that I cannot visit in
lynx? certainly, just as there are places I can use e-links where I
cannot use links the chain.
To be forthright, I wish e-links was still under development, for the
greater JavaScript gifts, not that I do not reach for what I have here
at shellworld when needful.
You know something? many times I read that someone might use say Firefox
in one case, and say chrome in another. I fail to see how those choices
differ from lynx in one case and links the chain for another.
Just my thoughts,
Karen

Hello everyone. My question is mainly addressed to lynx users.
Why do you prefer lynx over another terminal browsers like w3m or links?
What are the benefits it can offer to user over others?
Thanks.
