Let me first start off with the obvious.  

"Is there a good command line web browser?"
"Yeah, use links."
"I've used lynx, it sucks."
"Not lynx, L-I-N-K-S!"

Google, when asked for "links", actually has the links home page as the 
first hit!  Didn't expect that, lost a reason to hate links.  Now back to 
our hate.

How do I copy text from links?  For some reason this is the only command line
application that refuses to allow me to highlight and copy anything.  GRAH!

So even though links' rendering is superior I'm stuck using lynx.

You are wicked and wrong to have broken inside and peeked at the
implementation and then relied upon it.
