Is elinks command-line compatible to lynx? It it is, I would prefer
to see elinks, as it renders pages much better (supports frames and
tables, etc).
Agree, elinks features:
* Lots of protocols (local files, finger, http, https, ftp, smb, ipv4,
ipv6)
* Authentication (HTTP authentication, Proxy authentication)
* Persistent cookies
* Cute menus and dialogs
* Tabbed browsing
* Support for browser scripting (Perl, Lua, Guile)
* Tables and frames rendering
* Colors
* Background (non-blocking) downloads
... and really active upstream developers.
