Netrik seems to be picking up where hacked-links left off.  Has anyone tried it? Has it been around forever and I'm just now noticing it (very probable)?

Seems interesting.

I liked links-hacked because I grew up on the lynx keybindings and did not have to re-learn how to go to a link or to download a  link for example.

I wonder how netrik compares sizewize to links

Very small....netrik 1.15.3 is 79k stripped, compared to nearly 1mb for links =o)

I haven't tried it in DSL yet, so i don't know what additional files it may need...i'll do that before the end of the night.

One thing I've noticed so far is that it needs to be told not to force colors if you use a dark terminal, but that's no biggie.

Initial impression: This is a really nice browser for its size.  I'd like to see some of what I'd consider "essential" features added, such as a status bar for displaying things like the URL of the highlighted link rather than needing to hit an additional key to see where you'll go, and there doesn't seem to be any way to manage non-text objects...if you hit a link to an image, for example, it just tries to display it in the pager rather than allowing you to save it.  I don't see anything about cookies either, so it might not be terribly useful for online forums.

It does work in DSL without additional dependencies, so that's super cool.
