No I'm not talking about downloading the latest beta version of Google Chrome. Want to run the browser with the fastest rendering time out there ? Try out Lynx, a text based command line browser for Unix. It is really easy to build and install Lynx in a few minutes and you have a fully functional web browser you can use from the command line. I used the following commands to download and install Lynx:
curl ftp://lynx.isc.org/lynx2.8.7/lynx2-8-7.zip > lynx2-8-7.zip
unzip lynx2-8-7.zip
cd lynx2-8-7/
./configure
make
sudo make install
(Note I built Lynx on OS X 10.5.7 PowerPC)
Thats it, you should have a working version of lynx, to take it for a test drive try
lynx http://www.google.com/
