links2 is a text-based web browser, similar to Lynx but with support for HTML frames, tables, and basic JavaScript. It offers a user-friendly interface for browsing the web from a terminal. It's designed to be lightweight and fast, making it suitable for low-bandwidth connections or systems with limited resources. links2 is available in graphics (using svgalib or X) and text mode. The graphics mode supports mouse operation, but in text mode it can be controlled using only keyboard. links2 supports HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, Gopher, finger and local file access. It also offers features like bookmarking, history, and cookie management. It uses caching to reduce network usage. Supports SSL encryption via OpenSSL.

JavaScript support is limited and may not render complex pages correctly. Frame support can be inconsistent depending on terminal emulators. Not all CSS features are implemented.

links2 reads its configuration from ~/.links2/.
Keybindings, colors and other options can be customized by editing the configuration files in this directory.

links2 uses OpenSSL for secure connections.
Ensure OpenSSL is installed and configured correctly for proper SSL functionality.
