To save U-A, use a shell setup file like .bashrc to get a permanent alias alias lynx="/usr/local/bin/lynx -nopause -tna -useragent='Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; CPU iPhone OS 6_0 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/536.26 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/6.0 Mobile/10A5376e Safari/8536.25' "
works for me, google responds with its search box and with an alias the [O]ptions page seems to populate the User-Agent header field (temporary solution for a single shell session) On Thu, Sep 11, 2025 at 11:10 PM yeti <[email protected]> wrote: > > > | "Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; CPU iPhone OS 6_0 like Mac OS X) > | AppleWebKit/536.26 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/6.0 Mobile/10A5376e > | Safari/8536.25" > > If you set the User-Agent string to this, Lynx works with Google. > > I tested this with an older version I sometimes use on SDF. > > Unluckily I found no way to save this, as that option is one of those > who can be changed but not saved. > > ... or I'm overlooking something. > > Has this changed in newer versions? > > So if I were a frequent Lynx user, I'd just replace that string in the > source and rebuild Lynx, but there have to be better ways. > --- Stefan Caunter Hamilton phone: 6474599475
