Nice! lynx is fun.
I like using links2 + piefed cause theres a Low bandwidth mode that works well with it. You can actually see posts and stuff.
Last I looked, I believe that elinks was the most-sophisticated of that family.
Video shows them opening the hackaday website and pressing “accept all” on the “share and sell personal data with and to third parties” dialog. 🙈

it looks cool, but there's no ad blocking... and that's a big no for me, alongside the chromium base...
There is ad-blocking, but not with uBlock Origin.
Your link to codeberg is a 404.
