I'm not a masochist

Not sure I agree

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

Wait, wasn't that superseded by links and then links2 like 20 years ago?

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

Eh, I use it as my "wait, how am I supposed to fiddle with $thingwentwrong again?" quick fix.

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?

I do use EWW from time to time
