Lynx web browser usage [closed]
three uses:
testing web pages for logical structure for search engines
testing web pages for accessibility to screenreaders (e.g. for visually impaired users)
fast, safe access to text-based web sites.
I use it sometimes when I have only a terminal connection and no X, which admittedly is rarely the case nowadays.
I just used it for fun. There are many better solutions for mobile phones. Besides if I'm getting charged by the KB then I'm changing phone plans.
If they do, I pity them. The web has almost always been a graphical medium since Mosaic was created in 1993, so any attempt to squeeze it into a text-only terminal is bound to have serious drawbacks.
The only reason I could see for using it is if you're using it over an SSH session and the server (or your client) doesn't support X forwarding through SSH. But that's the only reason.
