Re: [Lynx-dev] lynx to work as anonymous browser

[Travis Siegel]

Lynx can be used anonymously, but anonymous in the context lynx means, and 
anonymous in the context tor means aren't the same thing.
The reason being, tor doesn't actually visit sites directly, it goes 
through many layers of obfuscation before it ever reaches the web site 
it's contacting.  Lynx isn't built for this kind of connection, so lynx by 
itself will not handle anonymous browsing int he same terms as the tor 
browser, it only handles it in terms of user information handed out during 
regular web browser sessions.
If someone wanted to write code to talk to the underlying mechanisms the 
tor browser uses, then tie them into lynx, then certainly, it could be 
made anonymous in the way you're asking, but as far as I know, no such 
code exists.
