You missed Jason's point he was not looking for an Apples to Apples comparison. Lynx is simple, just does ths job therefore few things can go wrong. Accepted that Mozilla and many other deivatives of browsers are far more likely to have things go wrong, the complexity issue ...

My preference is the halfway house Linux, as I prefer to have at least some starting points provide for me.
