As a fun sort of test, I made Lynx available within the web browser: http://lynx.veroneau.net/
I have run Lynx with the following options to enable a "restricted environment": lynx -accept_all_cookies -use-mouse -restrictions=all -homepage=http://www.google.ca/ http://www.google.ca/ The cookies are flushed regardless, and this was the only way to stop Lynx from nagging about each cookie. Oddly, Lynx doesn't support rejecting of all cookies either through the command-line, through it's lynx.cfg, or even through it's "Options" page. As the command-line above shows, it will display Google right away on the screen. The mouse even works, so you can click onto the search box, type a search, then click "Google Search" to begin. Just realized that their copyright still says "2013". I also won't be keeping this around for very long either, as I can expect abuse if the link was provided to the outside world. However, I do plan on using this exact technology in the near future for another project.
