Greetings, I added "ENABLE_LYNXRC:PREFERRED_ENCODING:ON" to ~/lynx.cfg and "preferred_encoding=gzip" to my ~/.lynxrc When i run "lynx -cfg=~/lynx.cfg" i still get garbage output from https://lynx.invisible-island.net/ >From the Options menu: Preferred encoding : [gzip____] >From the `=` screen: Content-Encoding: br The workaround doesn't appear to work for me. Any other ideas besides recompiling lynx with brotli support? Thanks! -Ben
