Where, BTTR's forum??

Though, in an unrelated discussion, I just now noticed that it was
updated (2.20) yesterday!

It's a nice tool, but it doesn't do any huge miracles.

It's been targeting DOS/DJGPP for a few years now (at least since
2014), so it's not really that "new".

Don't know.

The main version (not "lite") has support for HTTPS and SSL via some
DJGPP libraries. The main binary also optionally supports graphics
(unlike "lite").

I'm not aware of any official place, but you can always check BTTR's
forum or maybe discuss it here (freedos-user).

Again, note that, while incredibly impressive and quite useful, Links2
is not going to "save the (DOS) world". It probably still lacks some
things or has bugs or missing functionality. (No Javascript support,
last I checked.) Nevertheless, it already seems very, very good.
