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.

[2] On 1 September 2004, Baudiš handed maintainership of the project over to 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.

[5] elinks is being actively maintained: preview version 0.17.0rc2 was released 10 December 2023,[6] while stable version 0.17.0 was released 25 December 2023.
