Lynx can be used anonymously, but anonymous in the context lynx means, and anonymous in the context tor means aren't the same thing. The reason being, tor doesn't actually visit sites directly, it goes through many layers of obfuscation before it ever reaches the web site it's contacting. Lynx isn't built for this kind of connection, so lynx by itself will not handle anonymous browsing int he same terms as the tor browser, it only handles it in terms of user information handed out during regular web browser sessions. If someone wanted to write code to talk to the underlying mechanisms the tor browser uses, then tie them into lynx, then certainly, it could be made anonymous in the way you're asking, but as far as I know, no such code exists.

Hi There,

I was wondering if lynx can be as good as TorBrowser to work with Tor.

Is lynx anonymity focused as well or its just user friendly browser like
FF?

ThX!
