Re: [Lynx-dev] a solution for this problem?

You later mention "Gmail", leading me to assume the "Gail" above is
supposed to be "Gmail".

If so...what do you have to do to make that work?  One of my workplaces
uses Google for their mail and, they said that "starting March 24,
2022" we "won't be able to sign into [our] accounts on browsers that
don't support JavaScript".  The actual date was somewhat after that; I
haven't been able to find any record of exactly when, but it happened.
And I just now tried again and got

| Couldn't sign you in
| 
|    The browser you're using doesn't support JavaScript, or has JavaScript
|    turned off.
| 
|    To keep your Google Account secure, try signing in on a browser that
|    has JavaScript turned on. Learn more

Of course, it don't bother explaining how requiring the exposed attack
surface of a JavaScript engine can possibly make anything more secure
than...not.

I would *love* to switch back to using lynx, but I haven't found any
way to get anything more useful than the misleading refusal above.

It's been a while, but I do have a fuzzy memory that, years ago, I
found lynx erroring on links that "worked fine everywhere else" but
were not actually well-formed according to the spec.  Unfortunately,
that memory is too fuzzy for me to say much more.
