Links is a powerful and versatile WWW browser that can operate in both graphics and text mode. It functions similarly to Lynx but with some added features. One of its primary advantages is that it is capable of displaying tables and frames, as well as downloading content in the background. Additionally, Links supports HTTP/1.1 keepalive connections, which can help speed up browsing.
One of the standout features of Links is its support for Javascript, which allows for more interactive and dynamic websites. When running in graphics mode, Links is capable of displaying a wide range of image formats including PNG, JPEG, GIF, TIFF, and XBM pictures. For other image formats, it can run external bindings. The graphical mode also includes several image rendering features, including anti-aliased fonts, smooth image zooming, 48-bit dithering, and gamma and aspect ratio correction. All in all, Links is a feature-packed browser that is well worth considering.
