Lynx command on Linux (browser in terminal)

The lynx command on Linux is a text-mode web browser.

It is generally not installed by default in distributions, and can be installed using the standard package manager:

$ apt-get install lynx

Or

$ yum install lynx

Once installed, simply execute it by entering the URL as a parameter.

$ lynx https://www.certificacaolinux.com.br

Lynx in the Terminal

It doesn't make much sense to use a text-mode browser... unless you're a programmer and are experiencing strange bugs in applications, generally related to cache, especially JavaScript.

This way, you can check a local page in an extremely simple browser (and one that doesn’t use cache), whether it’s a cache problem or not.
