Hijacking this thread thinking I might have a good audience for my question:
Is there a text based browser that makes it easy to copy a URL (with, e.g., the middle mouse button) to paste it in another (graphical) browser? I have lynx installed on my machine, and tried a quick look at it, but is not immediately obvious how to get the URL for a link. Maybe it can be done readily in lynx and I just haven't spotted how to do it? Background: Because some pages (for example, the yahoo home page (yahoo.com) make both Iceweasel and konqueror use a very high percentage of the CPU, I thought I might try to load pages like that in a text browser, then copy the URLs of any links that I want to follow into Iceweasel to view them with pictures and such.
