If I may comment, MacLynx should be regarded as a dead end.

First and foremost, Lynx is already accessible to vintage computing enthusiasts via Unix shell accounts. This was also how Lynx was originally intended to run. Running it locally is a bit of a quirk that became common because Unix systems became common.

It is also worth noting that remote access also gives you access to other web browsers, like elinks.

The second reason is that Lynx does not exploit many of the features of the Macintosh. Even though Lynx is, in many ways, a much more powerful web browser, I consider Wannabe to be a much better browser. That is because Wannabe has the capabilities to emphasize things like headers and links, thus making documents easier to read.
