As an aside lynx is developed by a single individual, Thomas E. Dickey,
not by hundreds or maybe thousands of people like other web browsers.

And he also develop major other software as you can check on this page:
https://invisible-island.net/
providing a continuous support and maintenance since many, many years.

So, thanks Thomas!

Best,

Didier
