Anyone know of a good text ONLY web browser? I would like to find one to
use to assist us in testing sites for accessibility. I was looking at Lynx
but couldn't find an "easy to install" version. They all require you to
download your own dos based packet drivers... etc. It didn't sound easy.

I have exactly $0 to spend on this - so it would have to be
freeware/shareware. And I'm using a Windows operating system.


Thanks in advance,
G

I suggest using Opera. You can configure Opera very easily to give a text
only view.

1. Turn off images
2. Add a user style sheet
3. Ignore table markup

Here are some notes:
