    No they have all died. People are using Microsoft Edge and Google

    Rarely, I use it. I prefer eLinks more.

    I prefer links+ in GUI mode, but I often use it for most news
    being read from the RSS reader. Dillo is better sometimes.

    I've recently gone back to using lynx more for browsing. It seems
    good for bypassing most web annoyances and loads pages faster than any
    recent graphical browser. Plus I like being able to selectively
    accept cookies when I visit a site (though it can get slightly
    annoying at times).

    When I need a graphical/JS-enabled browser, I'm using either Pale Moon
    or an ancient version of Firefox. Sites that don't play well with
    these browsers are usually dead to me unless there's a very compelling
    reason to accomodate them.

    I'm not using lynx, but I'm using links2 in graphic mode on my NetBSD. I
    have Seamonkey and Firefox as well, but I limit their usage and prefer
    link2.

    As you, I think it's super fast and much less invasive.

    Another happy lynx user here!

    or an ancient version of Firefox.

    I didn't know about Pale Moon, thanks for sharing.
    I like it, and seems snappier than recent versions of Firefox.
    (It has a funny baseline 20% CPU usage on my system though,
    even as it shouldn't be doing anything.)

    FYI. https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=1&p=210616 for macOS users (no more Pale Moon).

    I've actually settled on "links", which is apparently a slimmer
    version of links2, and svelter than elinks as well. Its rendering
    is a little cleaner than lynx's.

    I've just used Lynx again for the first time in years. I needed to check
    the FAQ on a website with an expired certificate, and neither irefox nor Chromium allowed to access the site. Lynx still gives me the option of
    going onto the page (and fortunately, the page looks fine in Lynx).
