a funny thing happened to me yesterday.. i was using lynx to read a bunch of gopher and gemini sites and thinking to myself, “why did I switch from lync to links? 🤔 “ Then I went to some wiki page on http and remembered: “Oh right it’s because links can block all cookies instead of asking on every page!!! 😳”
