Have fun injecting pop-ups and JavaScript crap into my Lynx sessions. Which is where nearly all of my HTTP browsing happens.

Fine and well until someone injects code to exploit some 0day in lynx. Correct me if I'm wrong, but lynx doesn't even have sandboxing the way Chrome & FF do, right? Sure, it's a much smaller attack surface than those presented by traditional browsers, but if I had to hazard a guess, I'd assume it's been far less targeted, and considerably less hardened over the years.

Note: this is NOT an endorsement of Chrome, FF, Webkit, Blink, Gecko, nor is it a suggestion to NOT use Lynx - just a reminder that there are no silver bullets in security.

So you use lynx so therefore MITM injection isn't a problem? I'm having trouble even imagining this is a good faith response because it is so painfully obtuse.
