ELinks is a free text-based web browser for Linux , DOS , and Windows operating systems .
It began in late 2001 as an experimental fork by Petr Baudiš of the Links Web browser, hence the E in the name.[1] E E [2] Danish developer Jonas Fonseca, citing a lack of time and interest and a desire to spend more time coding rather than reviewing and organising releases.[3]
On 17 March 2017, OpenBSD removed ELinks from its ports tree, citing concerns with security issues and lack of responsiveness from the developers.[4]
On 17 November 2017, ELinks was forked into another program called felinks, meaning forked elinks . On 1 December 2020, the felinks repository on GitHub was renamed to elinks, with permission from Baudiš, as the old ELinks was no longer being actively maintained.[5]
elinks is being actively maintained: preview version 0.17.0rc2 was released 10 December 2023,[6] [7]
