Yes! It does work rather well. There is a thread about that sort of thing going on right now with lots of good info:

Better in elinks/links than lynx you mean? I'm definitely liking elinks better than lynx, having only heard of it a few days ago...

I prefer Lynx. I made a MyBB theme for Lynx, so its not ugly.

Hmmm, links has some mouse support when using from an xterm. Pretty cool.

Hmm, Links is a good way to browse the web while your boss thinks that you are working...

It works perfectly well in Links2 (framebuffer w/ graphics.) Great job vBulletin and Ubuntu Forums for making your code sensible. :D

I`d use links2 in the framebuffer all the time, but it doesn`t use cookies.

And for the 2 killer elinks features

numbered links and inbuilt search engines :p

And you can always press v if you want to see an image.
