Any major websites doing this well? The impression I have is that current technologies are not making it easier for Lynx to survive. In the other hand, I see people that can actually(?) browse without Javascript enabled, which makes me curious about the current state of things.
- wgerard 7y agoFunnily enough, HN actually works reasonably well in lynx.
- Scoundreller 7y agoAs long as you don’t type « g » « news.ycombinator.com » and then Lynx thinks you’re trying to access a Usenet service via NNTP. Gotta put in https:// https:// always.
- roywiggins 7y agoMetafilter always worked wonderfully, but it's been a while since I've tried it. Not sure that counts as major.
- Scoundreller 7y agoIn a way, it’s improved over the past 2 decades because nobody uses Frames anymore.
- larkeith 7y agoI don't use Lynx much, but Wikipedia, HN, Everything2 work fairly well.
- phillc73 7y agoThanks for reminding me about Everything2. I used to spend so much time on that site, but somewhat forgot about it over the years.
- catalogia 7y agohttps://lite.cnn.com/en https://lite.cnn.com/en Also, the main sites for the BBC, New York Times and Washington Post all work just fine without javascript and in terminal-based browsers (I'm partial to emacs' eww.) In my experience javascript is not necessary for a great many websites, including some major ones. Most links I click through from HN work fine without javascript, although there is some selection bias there.
