Well i dare say it is a matter of how one spends their time.
Lynx, although someone has not done a strict DOS compile in a while, was
updated twice this week alone.

It's good as long as you don't try to do anything risky like searching
Google.
Then it locks up trying to verify images.
It wasn't updated in over 6 years (correct me if I'm wrong) and the web
apparently just changed too much for it since.
Was great in its day which was over 10 years ago.
This Links2 browser reminds me a lot of Lynx which I used very heavily
when I had a Unix (actually Sun Solaris) shell account back in the '90s.
The internet seemed like it was a lot more fun back then in some ways.
It was free-er.

Speaking personally, I could never get arachne to work at all.
If you try this compile and learn if cookies are supported I would appreciate
learning as much.

I never downloaded the latest Arachne because I figured I wouldn't be able to
use it.
I still haven't really tried to access the internet on present computer from
DOS, including FreeDOS.
I was never able to get Arachne to dependably download a file to where I could
access it.
Since Glenn McCorkle's last release of Arachne, it seems the WWW has run away
faster than Arachne could keep up, hence no further activity.
