Lynx has saved me many times when I lose my desktop. It was also a great help when I was running FreeBSD and I wanted to see the FreeBSD manual.
Lightweight and great for reading text without distraction!
Lynx has two advantages:
• it runs in terminal, even when no graphic desktop environment is available;
• it displays sites in the way search engines see them, it is useful for web developers.
It has uses outside of a command-line browser. For example with the -dump option you can write quick Python scripts to crawl through the web that you will only use once or twice.
