release of the minimalist web browser , supporting operation in both console and graphical modes. In console mode, color display and mouse control are possible if supported by the terminal used (for example, xterm). In graphical mode, image output and font smoothing are supported. All modes ensure the display of tables and frames. The browser supports the HTML 4.0 specification but ignores CSS and JavaScript. It also supports bookmarks, SSL/TLS, background downloads, and control via the menu system. When operating links, it consumes about 2.5 MB of RAM in text mode and 4.5 MB in graphical mode.
Among , added in the new version:
- Fixed a bug that could contribute to de-anonymization when accessing through Tor. When connecting to Tor, the browser sent DNS queries to regular DNS servers outside the Tor network if pages contained DNS-prefetch control tags (‹link rel="dns-prefetch" href="http://host.domain/›). The issue appeared starting with release 2.15;
- Issues with cookie expiration have been resolved;
- Support for the zstd compression algorithm has been added;
- When accessing Google, the browser now identifies itself as "Lynx/Links", and Google responds with a version of pages without CSS;
- To ensure smoother mouse control, an attempt is now made to use "/dev/input/mice" instead of gpm first;
- Support for the URL "file://localhost/usr/bin/" or
"file://hostname/usr/bin/" has been added; - Support for the Haiku OS has been implemented.
