Lynx Hacker Definition
A text-based Web browser that does not require a graphical user
interface to display Web pages. Although the World Wide Web becomes more and
more media rich in content, the number of purists who prefer text-only
renderings of Web pages does not seem to shrink. Often, Lynx is the only
solution for displaying Web pages over low bandwidth lines and on slow client
computers.
