Lynx is a text-only
browser that's great for browsing content extremely fast. Sometimes you don't need fancy JavaScript interaction or beautiful images; you just want to view the text needed to solve your problems and move on with your life. That's what Lynx is for. Additionally, as a designer/developer, Lynx is a great way to make sure your website is adhering to
accessibility guidelines.
Here's a snapshot of our site, viewed from Lynx.
Lynx for Windows 7
If you've tried to install Lynx from the download page while on Windows 7, you might have come across various errors preventing you from installing this great tool. While searching for a solution myself, I came across a
Lynx Download Page with instructions that work for Windows 7 64 bit. Just checkout the readme and follow the step by step guide, and you'll be browsing in no time.
