      2 =====
      3 Links is a Lynx-like text and graphics WWW browser.
      4 
      5 This fork cleans up a lot of legacy code but removes the graphics mode.
      6 If that mode was important to you then steer clear.

      8 WARNING: This has been subtly broken for a while. It sometimes segfaults on
      9 unexpected pages in a way that is difficult to debug (it forces gdb to the
     10 background on segfault and `fg` just sends it back to the background). I still
     11 occasionally use it for reading mailing list archives but fixing it is not high
     12 priority. Patches are always welcome!
