An interesting little program...

lynx is still great for reading html documentation from a shell. And it can be used in scripts very easily, and has lots of command line parameters that allow you to do things you just can't do with regular browsers. It's obviously not a first choice for your daily web browsing but it works better than anything else for "some" tasks.

Hey,
I tried lynx the other day and it definitely reminded me of the old Lynx bbs software that I used to use under dos years ago. I don't know if it is by the same person but it is simular.
As to my humble opinion Mozilla kicks ass over every other browser I have tried although I have to say Konqueror is pretty cool. As far Galeon I noticed that it did not like the .org extension also that is one of the reasons I quit using it.

Is it time to dump Internet Explorer?
Microsoft's popular Web browser is riddled with security holes -- some of which the software giant has yet to patch. How can you protect yourself?

Ya know what bothers me about that article? It didn't seem to bother the author that MSN Messenger is hard coded to give up your contact and email address information to microsoft.com, hotmail.com, and msn.com. To me *that* is worse than the bug/hole. I'm glad I don't use that spyware crap.
