Lynx is a World Wide Web browser, just like Internet Explorer and Netscape. What makes it different is that it is a text-only browser - it does not display the graphics on web pages.Lynx first started life as a UNIX application, written by the University of Kansas as part of their campus-wide information system. In time, it became a gopher client, then a WWW browser. Lynx was released to the public under the terms of the GNU General Public License of the Free Software Foundation, Inc. It is being constantly improved by a group of developers (the Lynx-Dev Group).

They do not support images, JavaScript, Java, CSS (Cascading Style Sheets), plug-ins or dynamic HTML. As such they are extremely fast when browsing the web. They are also excellent tools when testing your site for accessibility.
