I can't recommend that. Elinks doesn't verify SSL certs when connecting to HTTPS sites. It hasn't had a release in five years. It also has worse support for web standards than IE6.


Huh, TIL. I think I actually don’t care about any of that except for the cert verification, which is a Big Deal. Thx for the reply!


Lynx doesn't have as good standard support, but it is still semi-active (2017-07-10 (2.8.9dev.16)) over at InvisibleIsland[0], and can be compiled with OpenSSL support. (Windows installers require OpenSSL by default).
