Interesting. It is very very clean.

(I keep accidentally losing data when I accidentally visit a link, though. How do you go back?)

To go back, you hit the left arrow key on a non-textbox thingy.

Oh, and if you click a link and want to cancel the load, press Z.

LOL, you finally found the magic of lynx. At my first year at university, the internet was so slow, we end up using telnet or putty to check emails, IRC-ing, and lynx-ing to browse the WWW. XDDD

I second [livejournal.com profile] ciaran_h, use the left arrow button under the group of middle buttons (insert, print screen, home, end and 5 other buttons)

Did you read somewhere about the April Fool's joke with lynx being Google Browser?

It's super fast! --> that was the tagline.

I still use it from time to time, to test on my websites and if the visual browsers failed to connect.

It's super fast, since it only loads text. :D
However for sites with sidebar first-content later, it's a bit annoying since you have to Ctrl+V (Page Down) a couple of times.

Lynx? The command-line browser?
I only use that when I get Xorg working in my Linux OS.
