why not using LINKS or LINKS2, links-gui, they are cool.

ssl support on lynx since 1998:
https://web.archive.org/web/19990508...enet.com/lynx/
my reason:
(1) oldest browser (30 yrs old), actively maintaned
(2) dev mailing list since oct., 1996 (if we are patient, we can learn a lot) (**no shiny** forums which i have despise personally (my opinion)
(3) dont want to waste huge resources (ram & cpu). example: viweing mailing list threads, do we really need browser which uses tons of ram & cpu?
i request members to continue discuss about why lynx only? my reasons are stated above (albeit short) and my look stupid to you.
lynx (web browser): reasons for using yourself & recommending to others
