   Real easy to use-- at first. As time went on it got harder and harder to get it to work. Finally it 'lost' my password, so I couldn't use it, and 'Support' never got back to me; but they did send me a 'customer satisfaction survey.' Hah!

   👎 Cons:    No customer support!

• MacLynx beta 4: now with scrollbars and dialogue boxes

  Thanks for mentioning elinks (http://elinks.or.cz/). I was about ¾ of the way through that article and thinking "as an academic exercise, sure. otherwise this just looks like 'its been done a thousand times before... But not by me.'" which was leading me to share the page for elinks. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• SW etc needed.

  Some text browser like elinks or a converter like pandoc. Hopefully you have Linux. :). Source: over 1 year ago

• The what?

  Time to audit firefox code, compile it manually, application firewalls, full content inspections to avoid any private data leaking. Get stressed and move to elinks. Source: about 2 years ago

• /etc/elinks.conf can't display images

  ELinks is a text browser (unmaintained since 2012) and according to your description the setting appears to be working just as described in the fine manual, i. e. The browser always displays the text "IMG" and not the filename, title, or alternate text when rendering tags. Source: almost 3 years ago

• Americans are spending billions on stuff they forget to cancel

  I use a service called Privacy [1] to generate virtual card numbers, which I than use with all of my subscriptions. All of the virtual cards are tied to a physical credit card used as the funding source. I get a notification every time a card is charged or a charge is denied (if it's above the set limit or no longer active). This has saved me from fraud where a single-use virtual card # I used to pay for airport... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Gift cards that work with tutanota.com? Or private virtual cards?

  Ideally would be something I could buy anonymously with cash since I want to use it on a health related site, but I'd accept a private/name hidden card at least. Not sure if privacy.com cards, wise, or others might work with it. Source: 5 months ago

  Lol, Also helpful tip. If you're going to use Fubo you should also use privacy.com. It lets you set up single use cards with spending limits so you don't accidently get charged. You can cancel the cards at anytime too. Source: 5 months ago
