Re: [orca-list] Lynx how many people use this browser

[Tom Masterson <kd7cyu gmail com>]

I am probably an exception but I use lynx qute often.  I spend most of my 
time working with a text console and only use the graphical desktop as a 
last resort.  As a result I use lynx more often than not and only go to 
firefox when I can't do what I want in lynx.  I do on occasion use elinks 
compiled with javascript support but I find that in most cases if I need 
to go there it is easier to go to firefox.

This may in part be because I am almost exclusively a braille user and 
really dislike even having speech on as it interupts those around me 
unless I wear a headset or earphone which I find annoying.  I find that 
brltty at a console is much easier to use than using it standalone with 
orca as orca tends to break up my flow of reading into a somewhat 
unnatural form.  It doesn't allow one to just read and automatically drop 
to the next line as you read but requires you to actually go down a line 
and then get back to the beginning of the line i.e. more keystrokes.  All 
of that being said I would really like a better text based browser that 
can handle the new webpages.
