I have tested many times. Some while ago.

I used lynx and links2 (not yet netsurf), as far as I can recall, never got what you talked about.

Was brutally blocked and got the finger because none of those web browsers has javascript (and even CSS).

While thinking about it, I hate even more the whatng cartel for the damage they did to the web with their 'web apps'.

I don't know what to say.

Here's a video of me getting past the bot blocker with links2 I guess?
