Are you using a graphicial browser or a text browser?

Graphical. It's just that text based browsers don't support js or css and that becomes a problem with websites like this.

Usually a graphical except everynow and then I'll read the news using lynx

[cardinals_fan]

I like links pretty well, and lynx it's very good for scripting, but I prefer a graphical browser most of the time.

graphical, i'm not enough of a masochist for a cli one whatever about its 1337 appeal.

Is anyone going to vote for a text browser?

[Eisenwinter]

I use a graphical browser 99% of the time.

I'll only use elinks or lynx to go to websites where the java script freezes/crashes Firefox, or if (obviously) I'm on a full CLI.

graphical offcourse.

But I always keep a copy of elinks and lynx at hand, to save me if I would ever be stuck in CLI.

Sometimes I use the CLI version if I want to go to a website that I don't want the company proxy to pick-up. In which case I make an ssh connection to my home GW and browse from there via elinks.

Poll

From the looks of this pole it seems to be a 6ft pole.

No, he's talking about a Pole, from Poland.

And why would anyone use a text browser? They were only useful in 1994 and earlier when 486's were top of the line and some computers couldn't handle the graphics.

If you want to prove how awesome you are, don't use text browsers; use stuff that actually is awesome, with graphics.

I'm not using a text browser right now. 99% of the time I am using Firefox.

Hi,

Should be another option: both.

At home, working with my primary laptop, FF is the browser I use. But when I'm out and about - cell phone as modem - maybe I use FF, maybe I use lynx. Depends on if I get a 3G connection or GPRS/EDGE. Or I can be at home - cable broadband - but using a low-horsepower laptop (no GUI), then it's lynx.

Options, friend, give us options - it's what GNU/Linux is all about
