I occasionally use lynx, especially when I've hit my 3 gig ADSL cap and I've got next to no bandwidth to play with. But oh! the havoc that innocent little browser can wreak:

A Londonder made a tsunami-relief donation using lynx -- a text-based browser used by the blind, Unix-users and others -- on Sun's Solaris operating system. The site-operator decided that this "unusual" event in the system log indicated a hack-attempt, and the police broke down the donor's door and arrested him.
