No. At times intermittently maintained, but definitely not dead.

Interesting alternative but rumours of Lynx’s demise are premature.

I’m sorry. I like Scott but this is silly.

Lynx isn’t Browse. Browse is based on Firefox.

When I need to test a site in text-mode (as I do every day) I use Lynx, w3m

No mobile version in 2024... great stuff.
