Online Banking Customers Migrating To Lynx 220
Jibbler writes "Following the recent Pwn2Own competition, in which Firefox, IE8 and Safari all fell quickly to exploits, Netcraft has observed a surge in popularity of the text-based Lynx browser. Netcraft points out that Lynx supports the latest cryptographic ciphers, and at least one online banking site has seen Lynx usage overtake that of Internet Explorer and Firefox. To boost Lynx's excellent security history, Netcraft has even developed a version of its anti-phishing toolbar for Lynx."

Now they just need to replace their backup systems with paper tape and punch cards for security reasons. After all, it's so much harder to steal a few cubic miles of solidified wood pulp than a cargo container [slashdot.org].

Lynx turns every website into a MUD.
Location: www.bank.com
You see a long line of roped off people leading to several tellers behind a glass partition. A security guard stands, seemingly day dreaming, off to one side. You sense that he would fail to stop any robbery attempt.
What would you like to do? [MOVE, LOOK, TOUCH, SMELL, ATTACK, WITHDRAW, DEPOSIT, MORE...]

Which version? There are multiple Lynx ports to OS/2, ya know. :-)
I prefer Links under Warp 4 myself, especially the 2.xx port with the -g option.
