Re: [Lynx-dev] Google working to improve its accessibility (fwd)
That is funny. I use lynx on a shell service every day and meet with none of these issues. What is more, I have a stand alone copy on my pure dos laptop, and again never have a problem. granted it is just me, but I cannot imagine anything earth that I desire to do that requires window whatsoever, least of all running lynx. It is commonly said though you create what you expect to find. I expect success in DOS, and so I find it, no doubt your situation is far from mine.

Yeah, that sucked, unless you used a shell function to call it,
like this:
$ ggs foo bar
Although, also for political¹²⁴ reasons, I switched to:
function ddg { # DuckDuckGo Search
${BROWSER:-lynx}
