Links is *the* best text-only browser out there, bar none!
A few weeks ago, I accidentally wrecked my X setup while trying to upgrade to
XFree 4.1. I was too lazy to try and fix it at the time, so I spent the next
few days doing all my ordinary web browsing in Links. It is really refreshing
to see only the information, with no fancy unnecesary graphics.
Links has several advantages over Lynx. It has mouse support (via the gpm
daemon), and it handles tables and frames very well (Lynx can't handle these
at all). And since it is text-only, it is really *fast*.
