Say hello to the early days of web browsers | ZDNet

The very first web browsers, such as Lynx, were character-based applications without a graphical user interface to be seen. It may look hopelessly primitive today, but in their time from 1991 to 1993, they were great. Unlike most of the other early browsers, Lynx, introduced in 1992, has been maintained. Unix and Linux shell users still use it today.
