Re: [Lynx-dev] dev.to website doesn't load, full support for HTML5?

[Karen Lewellen]

Adding my stance, knowing others will as well.
One feature I would appreciate, it might exist in the config file, but I 
am using a service, is an option that indeed lets you choose user agent 
headers.
There is no such thing as most websites, individuals visit individually. 
still, having the ability to move back and forth between the default lynx 
agent, which works for most sites I visit, and an alternative that might 
avoid 403 errors would be helpful.
So would encouraging folks not to block lynx itself, but that is another 
discussion.
just my  sickles.
