Completely agree. But if you know, then you did use it at some point right?

Use lynx to browse a meme community is like closing your eyes while watching a movie, lol that's my experience.

Yeah I tried using it for like 20 seconds and it felt like digging a ditch with a toothpick and broken arms

thankfully shitflare and it's lazy or clueless customers are helping make it absolutely unusable day by day

I know people are into some less-compliant, lighter-weight, less-distracting browsers but... fucking Lynx? Is there a single site that thing can render usably anymore?
