Well i use lynx 2.5 and 2.6 mostely. They ... well, better than
nothing. (-: Lynx 2.3 is abysmal (toronto freenet still uses it)...
simply ignores the table tags... it doesn't recognise them... so the
result is a almost unreadable mess.

You think lynx/2 has better table support than 2.6FM??? Oh, I wish
Derek would take his excellent patchs and apply them to 2.6FM!! That
2.4.1 code he has Lynx/2 based on is hopeless (though of course much
better than nothing... glad to have an OS/2 port of any version)...
can't even use arrow keys when editing input lines... sigh. No frames
support. No USEMAP (client side image maps) support. Mo mode to load
all images as links... etc etc...
